Been digging out my documents.  Takes some time.
Still missing one contract number for my reply, 
but what the heck- will go ahead without it.

Several of our members have asked about 
the green tags on GF/RU equipment.

The green tags signify sets purchased for Naval Reserve units.
GF-6/RU-8 (NOs-59345, 1938), GF-7/RU-9 (contract ?, 1938)
and GF-10/RU-15 (NOs-1939) were all for Naval Reserve aircraft.
I have most of the GF-10/RU-15 set and the manual for GF-6/RU-8.
Both are 12 VDC.  I don't have any information on the A+ voltage
for the GF-7/RU-9; it is possible it was a 24 VDC set.

Someone asked about Marine Corps use of the GF/RU.
According to SHIPS 242A, the most commonly found
GF-11/RU-16 (NOs-84531, 1941)
was purchased for shipboard Marine Corps use.
It has a black tag.

Will Donzelli reports there is some possibility of a red-tagged
GF/RU, but I have no other information.  I would be grateful
to see it if anyone knows of such a set.
