Summary: A presentation of the Services Electronics Research Laboratories (SERL) at Harlow in October 1966, demonstrating the range of their work and activities within their Microwave Electronics Division.
Description: Footage illustrates the range of research undertaken at the site, focusing on the manufacture of the 'C' band high power travelling wave tube (TWT) but also highlighting other associated areas of their work.
Also shown is their precision machinery capabilities, 'Hot Hobbing' technique, keyway broking operations on slow wave structures and utilising their high temperature furnace in the construction of many components.
Manufacturing and assembling the TWT is shown in detail, including assembling the slow wave structure and electron gun assembly, fitting the cathode and electron gun into the slow wave structure, assembling and fitting the collector into the structure and braising the three main component parts together.
