North Presbyterian Church

Armstrong's parents and relatives were devout Presbyterians; John and Emily met and were married at North Presbyterian church at 31st Street and 9th Avenue, Manhattan, New York City. With his father as a trustee of the church, Howard and his family attended services here before the property was sold for the construction of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Hudson River tunnel and new train station.

Camp Evans Laboratory (FM Doppler Radar)

After impressing several Marconi Wireless Telegraph company employees with his invention, Armstrong met with David Sarnoff who brought Armstrong to test our his new regenerative circuit at Camp Evans in Belmar, New Jersey. During WW2, Armstrong experimented with the use of FM radio for radar purposes under an arrangement with the Signal Corps. He modified a SCR-271 radar and created his experimental FM Doppler Radar System which operated on a narrow receiver bandwidth that was frequency modulated to be in sync with the transmitter. Although abandoning the radar to return to his battle for FM radio, his system was modified for use in Project Diana by Col. Dewitt.

Army Signal Corps Base in Paris (Superheterodyne Invention)

During the First World War, Armstrong was stationed at 140 Blvd Montparnasse where the US Army Signal Corps had set up their headquarters. During his time in the war, Armstrong invented the superhetrodyne in hopes of intercepting high frequency waves coming from enemy engines' ignition systems.
