Hi Peter,
  Back in the 1950's, Hughes created the kilowatt HACON amplifier, for use on 
the B-58 Bomber, which had 4x 4CX250 family finals, with large finned radiators 
in lieu of the standard air fins, in an autotuned not quite cubic foot package, 
filled with one of the DuPont $600/gallon ... fluids.
