(Special Product Division) to M.I.L 1946, (2)various., second weight approx. 6.42oztCondition:Good conditionLipman, was awarded the MBE in 1944 for his contributions towards the development and production of radar technology during the Second World War. Having graduated from Leeds university as an engineer and worked for EKCO for much of the 1930’s, Lipman was commandeered in 1939 by the RAF shortly before the outbreak of the war to set up a factory capable of producing radio aircraft-detection systems that would be installed in RAF planes to detect bombers, surface ships and submarines at night and in bad visibility. At Cowbridge House, Malmesbury, a secret war factory was established and the AI (Air Interception) Mk VIII was developed which proved to be one of the most important contributions towards the defeat of Hitler. As Lipman noted ‘The Mk VIII turned out to be a very successful gear; it was used for submarine detection as well as night fighter work, and was in full use throughout the rest of the war including D-Day, the Ardennes offensive of Christmas 1944 and the Italian campaign’. The activities of Lipman and the radar innovators at Cowbridge House became the subject of the book War Factory by Celia Fremlin of the social anthropology group Mass-Observation. A full account of Lipman’s life can be found in his autobiography ‘Memoirs of a Socialist Businessman’.
