Some of the Western Electric-built SCR-274-N receivers and controls had
plastic dials. I think all of the Aircraft Radio Corp. receiver and
control box dials were sheet aluminum. I have an RAV receiver with the
dial marked 520-1500 KC and ARA and AN/ARC-5 receivers with dials
marked .52 - 1.5 mc.
Western tried to use as much plastic as they could, for example the
knobs on the IF cans were plastic in most W-E sets and machined
aluminum in the A.R.C. sets.
