Radar development in the Bell System was centered at the Whippany plantof Bell Laboratories.

Un-der the then established rules of Navydevelopment contracts, it was notpracticable to contract for such ahighly speculative research program.However, all concerned recognized the Laboratories to proceed with theInvestigation.
