Color Set General Question

[Sandy G]

Well, its a well-known fact that Sarnoff & Commander Eugene F. McDonald-the ramrod at Zenith- could scarcely stand each other. McDonald was a patrician WASP & Sarnoff was most assuredly was NOT. RCA was a bigger company, & had the RCA laboratories, but Zenith always gave them a good run for their money. Designing a color set using as few of RCA's patents as possible took some technical savvy. Reading between the lines, I'd like to think BOTH of them liked to get each other's "goats" as much as possible.
