| In 1943 a engineer at heath aircraft brought a large
amount of military surplus electronic parts. The new Heathkit electronic
company was being planed. He started with an oscilloscope, while it was
being developed and tested he started developing a few small simple
kits and they started marketing them along with parts in January of 1947. By
October 1949 they were were buying most of their parts direct from
manufactures. There was no September flyer and the next flyer described why
along with parts increases. A flyer describing this can be downloaded
