Abstract
THE origin and excellence of the Radiation Laboratory Series of monographs is now Well known, and can need little in the Way of introduction to the physicists and engineers on both sides of the Atlantic who took part in the great war-time venture of radar. Without the cavity magnetron it is more than doubtful whether micro-wave radar could have become the decisive weapon it turned out to be. In this sense, therefore, the volume under review is perhaps the most important of the series, providing the central theme without which many of the other volumes could not have been written.
