// The friend said the "engineer" looked to be Asian, but I do not
remember the name. Sorry.
- Other interesting Henry Radio achievements:
1. Four models of 3-500Z amplifiers that applied from 5.8 to 6.0 volts
to the filament.
2. A 5CX1500A amplifier that had 280Arms of filament inrush current.
3. One of the highest VHF-Rp suppressor designs in ham amplifiers.
4. No stepstart in the 2k-3, 2k-4, et cetera.
5. Glitch resistor in the HV negative circuitry.
