[ARC5] Antenna beads

[Mike Hanz]

Which ones?  :-)  There were several different sizes used for the 
command sets in WWII, and they fell into disuse or outright condemnation 
(because of dust and associated moisture absorption) by the end of the 
war.  The diameter of each one depended on the size wire that was used 
to go between the transmitters and the antenna feed-through in the 
fuselage of the aircraft.  I have several sizes here from that era and 
can provide pictures and dimensions if desired.
