WASHINGTON (Nov. 17, 2015) Dr. Larry Schuette, director, Office of Research (Discovery and Invention), watches as Gerald Woodill, First Secretary, Defense R&D, Canadian Defence Liaison Staff, opens a box containing cavity magnetron-E1189 Serial No. 12, during a commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Tizard Mission held at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. In 1940, Sir Henry Tizard and a small British delegation brought with them to the United States and Canada plans for more than 20 technologies, including the Whittle engine and designs for rockets and gun sites. After leaving Canada, they left No. 12 with officials of the National Research Council of Canada to serve as a template for their development and production work. (U.S. Navy photo by John F.
