The material you researched and posted is absolutely fascinating!  It is one
of the most valuable postings I've ever seen on any list.

I may be misinterpreting, but it appears the documents provide substantial
evidence that by late 1942 the USAAF made little or no use of the SCR-274-N
in the ETO.  The documents also show the tremendous and dominating
importance in the ETO of the command set that few collectors seem to like,
the SCR-522.  (I like it though, but then I also like the USN's AN/ARC-4.)

I'd be interested in **anything** of this nature, on any radio equipment,
that you would care to take the trouble to post in the future.  I'm sure
most other list members would be also.

Many, many thanks for this info, Taigh!
