	Thomas Goldsmith Oral History
		Alan B. Dumont was very well respected by the committees, including the FCC commissioners and whatnot that studied the pros and cons of whether we should have this kind of code or that kind of code, what the standard should be for broadcasting.
		Dumont Laboratories had a fairly interesting windfall in view of this: we were precluded from selling a lot of transmitters we otherwise would have, but we had a license for operation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
		Dumont Laboratories developed and sold some of the first UHF stations in the world, but that was done with the Itel color tubes from California.

	The DuMont Television Network: Channel Two
		DuMont was second to enter the network TV business, establishing a link between its New York City and Washington, D.C. stations in 1945, ahead of both CBS and ABC, and not far behind the pioneering efforts of NBC.
		DuMont also manufactured sophisticated electronic equipment, as well as broadcast equipment for the television industry, plus high-quality TV sets, which may be what DuMont is best remembered for today.
		DuMont developed the first long-lasting cathode ray tube, the basis of electronic television, and was first to offer a home television receiver to the public in 1939, exhibiting sets at the New York World's Fair that year.

	DuMont, Allen B.
		In fact, in 1951 DuMont cut back television set production by 60%-although profits from this division had been subsidizing the TV network-because other manufactures were undercutting DuMont's prices.
		DuMont was hired by Fairchild as group general manager of the A. DuMont Division of Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation until his death in 1965.
		DuMont engineers perfected the use of cathode-ray tubes as TV screens, developed the kinescope process, as well as the "magic eye cathode-ray radio tuning indicator, and the first electronic viewfinder.

		DuMont was born in Brooklyn, but he lived most of his life in New Jersey.
		It can be argued that DuMont built the first practical cathode-ray tubes, since he improved their design and durability, and made them much easier to assemble.
		In time, DuMont's company became the first manufacturer of home television sets, since cathode-ray tubes are a central component of television technology.

		In consequence, we face some of the most profound issues of biology, in molecular biology the sensitive detection of macro-molecules, and the specification of their ultrastructure and metabolism, with tools that are astonishingly primitive by the standards of instrumentation available in other fields.
		Our laboratory will participate in a program he is designing to allow some few stations to share access to a PDP-1 computer, which will in turn be coupled to the IBM 7090 system now in operation.
		The signal is expected to reflect localized incidence of microorganisms; the noise comes largely from the backg round fluorescence of the soil sample eluate and from spontaneous degradation of the fluorogenic substrates (e.

		One of the only significant achievements in television during the war years was in 1944, when the DuMont Laboratories were also given a commercial license for a station in New York.
		DuMont, unfortunately, was falling farther and farther behind, losing talent left and right to NBC and CBS.
		At the same time, DuMont found itself in financial troubles, and by 1956 the network was gone, leaving behind a legacy of an ill-fated "fourth network," while at the same time a warning to any other potential networks; the "big three" could outproduce, outspend, and outprogram any fledgling network.

	Metromedia and DuMont (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		DuMont's regulatory problems were complicated by the 1949 US Department of Justice order for the major Hollywood studios to spin off their cinema operations, with Paramount (subsequently a major component of the Viacom conglomerate), establishing United Paramount Theatres (UPT) as the vehicle for its cinemas.
		DuMont's manufacturing operations struggled during the rest of the decade, with its television receiver and audio hifi operations being acquired by Emerson Radio and Phonograph in 1958 and its oscilloscope and CRT manufacturing arm being absorbed by Fairchild in 1960.
		The DuMont network is commemorated on several memorial sites (eg site), although most have an antiquarian focus on specific programs or performers such as Jackie Gleason.

		DuMont aired virtually no filmed programs during its history; much of the network's lineup was broadcast live from the network's studios at Wanamaker's Department Store in New York City.
		DuMont also broadcast live coverage of the famed 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings, which was the beginning of the end of Senator Joseph McCarthy's communist "witch hunts".
		DuMont did come up with a technical innovation called the "Electronicam", that combined a live TV camera with a film camera, allowing a program to be shot live and on film at the same time, eliminating the grainy, poor-quality kinescope.

		DuMont's WABD in particular was very active in creating live studio shows to train air wardens, airplane spotters and other "homeland security" groups in the finer nuances of their adopted volunteer activity, as was Los Angeles pioneer W6XAO.
		Post war, late in 1946, DuMont had a variation of this with three separate cathode ray tubes enclosed in the same vacuum envelope which was demonstrated to RCA at Princeton (NJ) in November of that year.
		In terms of advertising revenue and program production, NBC would lead followed by DuMont but neither would be profitable in their television network operations (DuMont's 1947 financial statement showed $775, 235 as cost to operate its TV broadcast and network operation, not well offset by $71,184 in income; a loss of $704, 051).

		Paramount has bought an interest in the Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, of Passaic, N. J., a small but well-recognized establishment specializing in the manufacture of cathode-ray tubes (the "projector" of television receivers).
		DuMont himself is a two-fisted, aggressive scientist with a splendid technical background, some patents, and a lot of ideas.
		With Paramount's backing (which does not include control of his company), he is planning to erect a very low power television transmitter (only 50 watts) on top of the present two-story factory building, and to operate it experimentally with a system of his own, different from the RCA one.

		It was at his Green Street (San Francisco) laboratory that Farnsworth gave the first public demonstration in 1927 of the television system he had dreamed of for six years.
		While DuMont is best known for CRT development and synchronization techniques, the company's major historical contribution was its production of early electronic TV sets for the public beginning in 1939.
		For Stanford University, the klystron represents one of its best investments: $100 in seed money and use of a small laboratory room were turned into $2.56 million in licensing fees before the patents expired in the 1970s, three major campus buildings and hundreds of thousands of dollars in research funding.

		The tube's concept was originated with Ernest Lawrence from Berkeley in Lawrence Laboratories - it's a sideline and a hobby of his.
		And so eventually the board decided that his actions were not compatible with where they saw the company going and the semiconductor operation based here in California was really the tail wagging the dog with the entire company at that time.
