It does appear that Warwick was infact a Chicago company. Looking at those patent details indicates "Warwick Electronics Inc, Chicago, IL" and the inventors lived in Schaumburg and Palatine, both of which are northwest suburbs. So we can conclude that engineering was alteast in chicago.

So warwick had a manufacturing plant in Arkansas? Im curious if there were chicago plants as well. I think I have a 1976 chicago yellow pages phone book somewhere on one of my numerous overloaded book shelves. Perhaps they might be listed with an address in there, which is the tail end of Warwick if they were gone by '77.

John Furrey who was one of the designers on the color gamut compressor for warwick appears to still be around at age 69. He is listed as having a home in Schaumburg and then Indianapolis. I'd be willing to bet once warwick folded, he went to work for RCA. Just a though...
