ABSTRACT
Born in Upper Sackville in New Brunswick, Canada, Beveridge worked summers in the wilds of Quebec, supplying firefighting outposts with radio equipment to raise money for his tuition at McGill University. Described by colleagues as a consummate engineer, inventor, and businessman, who also had a knack for recruiting top talent, he was instrumental in developing radar technology during and after World War II for the U.S. and Canadian navies. Some of his radar innovations are still in use on vessels around the world.
