The Magnetron Valve by G. H. Davis
A set of diagrams demonstrating what a magnetron valve is, and why it is of such importance to radar. The magnetron valve was used in the Second World War to give Allied forces superior radars, and, after being offered to the USA to secure their support, it was described by America as " the most valuable cargo ever brought to our shores". It should be noted that the prototype magnetron valve was around six hundred times more powerful than anything in American production.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print from the Illustrated London News archives, taken in 1946, showcases a set of diagrams explaining the inner workings of the Magnetron Valve, a groundbreaking invention by British engineer, G. H. Davis. The Magnetron Valve is a crucial component of radar technology, revolutionizing its capabilities during World War II. Radar, an acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging, is a system that uses radio waves to detect and locate objects. The Magnetron Valve generated high-frequency radio waves, enabling radars to detect objects at greater distances and with higher accuracy than ever before. This technological advancement gave Allied forces a significant advantage in the war, allowing them to detect enemy aircraft and ships before they could launch attacks. The importance of the Magnetron Valve was not lost on the Allies' allies. In 1940, the British government offered the Magnetron Valve to the United States in exchange for their support. The Americans were astounded by the technology, which was around six hundred times more powerful than anything in their production. They described the prototype Magnetron Valve as 'the most valuable cargo ever brought to our shores.' The Magnetron Valve's impact on the war effort cannot be overstated. Its use in radar systems contributed to the Allied victory in World War II, and it paved the way for further advancements in radar technology. This photograph print is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of G. H. Davis and the British scientific community during a time when their work played a critical role in shaping the course of history.
