Thanks all, for the input and observational feedback.

I also found my own 'small' reference back again. For others
interested in antenna design it could also be of use:

Greetings from (at the moment) rainy Netherlands,

Hi Arie,

Just a short note to let you know that I worked with Jess Epstein, the Epstein of BL&E while working at the
RCA Antenna Lab (at David Sarnoff Research Center) I was also personally acquainted with George Brown, the
Brown of BL&E. While at the RCA Lab I also became acquainted with Ed Laport, as he stopped in to consult with
us on various occasions. Of course I have his book, 'Radio Antenna Engineering' in my library. I also knew Bob
Lewis, the Lewis of BL&E, through ham activities, although he had left RCA to go with IT&T before I came to
RCA.
