Watson Watt
 

The first British experiment with a system that was to become known as radar was carried out today (Feb., 26) in 1935 under the supervision of Scots scientist Robert Watson Watt. Watt, a descendent of the great James Watt, soon had a working version of the detection device covering practically all of the British Isles.

aaahh.. RAdio Detection And Ranging.. As in the immortal words spoken by Ace Carter: "I think I'll do some Radio Detection and Ranging today..."

These Watt's get in everywhere :)
