Final note to go with Scott's excellent explanation....
Varian Street, in San Carlos, CA, runs between Bayport Ave. and Old County
Road, and as I understand it, one the Varian Brothers early labs was located
there.  Starting in the late 70's I worked for Farinon (microwave radio
manufacturer) in San Carlos, who had a thin film lab on Varian Street.
Knowing the history, walking down Varian Street was always a trip into
nostalgia for a microwave guy.

Varian (Named for Russell and Sigurd Varian,inventors of the Klystron)
bought Eimac in the late fifties to broaden their offering of vacuum tubes
(mostly microwave) The tube business was located in Salt Lake (glass tubes),
San Carlos, CA (ceramic-metal tubes) and Beverly, MA (microwave devices) The
Company is now known as CPI and the glass tube business was sold to
Richardson.
