66/67 was the heyday - PF reporter and Electronic Servicing magazine have some skeptic, acceptance and mitigation articles along with GE's ads buying back some HV regulator tubes. Dad had an RCA Communicator magazine dealing with the 6EL4A development (Sylvania and RCA teamed up together, each patented their improvements) that later merged with the 6BK4C tube. I read it as a kid, not knowing of the controversy so much as the "Wow, they didn't stop at the CTC38 chassis in tube development" mentality. At that age, any change to an RCA chassis to me had a huge "WOW" factor.
I remember the article having a staff photo of Ms Deckert - made it easy to find the 6BK4 improvement patent - I couldn't remember her name, but once I saw her name on the patent, I knew I had stumbled upon it.
Is it just me, or could patent art be a nice framed grouping on a wall - take all the good stuff from our childhood and combine it with our passions - patent art from Lego blocks, Play-Doh, Butterfly Yo-yos, Hurst shifters, Space Command remotes, Quasar WID, 6BK4s, and the like and then get archival prints made (after cleaning up the artwork some), and frame them in like frames, and then hang them up in a grouping - kind of a "this is me, in patents" story.....
