I finally remembered what it was that this block reminded me of. The History Channel did a story on radar development. While the Brits came up with a way to make it work, they could not manufacture an intricate part (looking much like Ben's block) in mass quantities. A US engineer came up with the idea of stamping thin sections and bonding them together to build the required height.

That would be the Magnetron oscillator, and they sorta look like the attached picture. However the newer magnetrons that we have in our microwave ovens looke like a hybrid between the RADIUS and the magnetron in the picture.
