[ARC5] T-126?

[David Stinson]

Well, to be technical-
If you want your book to be strictly about A.R.C.'s products,
the AN/ARC-5 crystal VHF sets should be no more than an aside,
since A.R.C. didn't design them.  They are a Western Electric creation.
I've heard rumors that A.R.C. had a hand in them,
but I've seen no documentation.  I'd kinda doubt it.
A.R.C. didn't conceive or create ugly radios ;-).
