[ARC5] More information sought to fill in the blanks

[David Stinson]

I've got a whole bunch of info to send you,
but life and work keep interfering (ask Mike H.-
I've been trying to send him a box for a year.
I'll find something to put in it, then forget until 
I see it again, then the phone rings and I'm gone again etc).
I'll tell you- since I turned 50, my responsibilities seem
to keep coming faster but my mind keeps running sllllooowerrr....

One of the problems with late ARC stuff is how the definition
of the word "Type" seems to have morphed around.
A set consisting of a receiver and transmitter for a light aircraft 
was a "Type 17" which used a "Type R-13" receiver and a "Type T-11"
transmitter.  Then the "Type 210" set used the "type RT-11"
transceiver.  "Type 11" is talking about a set, while "Type R-11"
is talking about a receiver.  But then, you'll see them in the engineering
notes talke about a "Type 21," and they're referencing the receiver,
not the set :0P Reminds me of the Navy from 1920-1950;
they moved Radio around and thought-up a new Nomenclature system
every full moon, it seems.

Are you going to try to take your ARC work past the point when 
Cessna enslaved them?  They started "scattering their fire,"
going into things like autopilots, gyros,... heck; 
they probably did coffee makers before it was over.  
It's like Cessna stuffed all the engineering and creative talent 
into one of those big muzzle-loading circus cannons 
and shot it at the aviation market to see 
what would stick - Ker-Splat!  Heck of a mess.  That's all
in a late ARC engineering notes manual I have been 
trying to send you almost as long as the stuff for Mike ;-).

I'll get to copying....
