Abstract
The primary source for this chapter is a 6,000-word draft history of Elliott’s radar work in the period 1950–1970, written for the author by Dr Elizabeth Laverick, OBE and John Kinnear in May/June 2005. Subsequent minor comments and explanations have been incorporated where appropriate.
Betty Laverick and John Kinnear were, second only to Peter Mariner, the leading lights of Elliott-Automation’s radar developments at Borehamwood throughout the period under review. Regrettably Peter Mariner, the Chief Executive of the main radar division within Elliott-Automation from the mid-1950s, died in 1995 and was therefore unable to comment on the text of this chapter. John Kinnear died suddenly in January 2007. Betty Laverick died on 12 January 2010.
