Orange Yeoman

In 1949 the Ministry of Supply took over direct control of the TRE and RRDE, and assigned the 3D work the Rainbow Code "Orange Yeoman". By the end of the year the system appeared to be progressing well, with the antenna design completed and a system to feed the ten signals through a series of slip-rings successfully tested. To produce more power in total, a system was developed to feed three magnetrons in parallel. A new foldable antenna was also being tested.
