"The UHF connector, also sometimes known as the
Amphenol coaxial
connector was designed in the 1930s by a designer in the Amphenol
company for use as an RF connector in the radio industry. The UHF
connector was initially intended for use as a video connector for
radar equipment, but it later became used in a variety of RF
applications."
Hmmm...are yopu/they/we confusing this with the earlier UHF connector, the 93M?
Those are indeed late 1930s.
