Lee L. Davenport (December 31, 1915 – September 30, 2011) was an American physicist. He was a member of the MIT Radiation Laboratory during World War II, responsible for the development and deployment of the SCR-584 radar system.
Lee Losee Davenport was born on December 31, 1915, in Schenectady, New York. His father, Harry, was a high school mathematics teacher. Davenport showed an early interest in electrical devices, building electric motors out of papers clips and copper wire.
Davenport received his bachelor's degree from Union College (Schenectady) in 1937, and a master's degree in physics from the University of Pittsburgh in 1940. He was a twenty-five-year-old graduate student working towards his Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh when he was invited to join the Radiation Laboratory.
While at the Radiation Laboratory, Davenport was placed in charge of the SCR-584 program by physicist and laboratory deputy, Ivan Getting. The SCR-584 radar (Signal Corp Radio #584), a land-mobile radar that was designed to automatically direct anti-aircraft guns, was a major accomplishment of the Radiation Laboratory. It was the SCR-584 that enabled the shooting-down of about 85 percent of V-1 "buzz bombs" attacking London.

You say that you can't get to sleep at night
And you don't know what it could be
Well, you can blame it on the moon for being too bright
But it sounds like love to me
You feel like a fever is coming on
Got your whole body feeling weak
But you still dance around and hum the same old song
Sounds like love to me
Oh, it sounds like love, it sounds like love to me
And love is so contagious
You're bound to catch yourself eventually
Oh, you might've even caught it from me
Well, you've never felt this way before
So you worry about it naturally
Oh, well, there ain't no need to worry anymore
It just sounds like love to me
Oh, it sounds like love, it sounds like love to me
And love is so contagious
You're bound to catch yourself eventually
Oh, you might've even caught it from me
You say that you can't get to sleep at night
And you don't know what it could be
Well, you can blame it on the moon for being too bright
But it sounds like love to me
You know, it sounds like love, it sounds like love to me
And love is so contagious
You're bound to catch yourself eventually
Well, you might've even caught it from me
You know, it sounds like love, it sounds like love to me
And love is so contagious
You're bound to catch yourself eventually
