Maj. Gen. Roger B. Coi.ton (Ret) Dr. a. Hovt Taylor Radar s Inventors Who invented radar? This ques-tion arises again and again. Likeall exceedingly complex achieve-ments of the present technicalage, radar owes its greatest debtto the great physicists of thepreceding centuries, includingNewton, Maxwell, and Hertz.But among contemporary work-ers, whose genius turned ob-scure principles of science intotelling adjuncts of modern war-fare, a few names deserve spe- cial mention. These includeBritains Sir Watson-Watt; theArmys Maj. Gen. Roger B. Col-ton (Ret.); and Dr. A. HoytTaylor, who, as chief consultantand chief coordinator of elec-tronics at the Naval ResearchLaboratory, Anacostia, D.C.,made an initial discovery in 1922which proved that radio echoescould one day, with the speed oflight, serve to locate and rangetargets. 262 Bell Telephone Magazine
