Mike and group,
  For clarification,the wood goes all the way to the tip.Somewhere I saw 
a cross section of this type of antenna but I cannot bring it to mind 
at this senior moment!

Mike and Groups 
 
Finally,a response of sorts to similar topics I posted some time last 
year. 
I have a AN-104-B and a AN-74A antenna(s). The -104- has a thin metal 
sheath painted silver and the -74A also has a metal sheath but painted 
O.D.The -104- has a hole in the tip of the mast whereas the -74A has a 
small flange(?) with the hole for securing the HF antenna.I have no 
other info on these but both are VHF aircraft antennas of WWII era and 
probably way beyond. 
The -104- has 6 braided flat grounding straps.The -74A has a lug to 
which a ground wire can be crimped. 
Any documentation of these antennas would be most welcome and 
compensation gladly provided. 
Happy New Year to all!
