[ARC5] RAZON: Innovative Use of SCR-274N

[David Stinson]

Here's one that might be of interest to SCR-274N fans.
One of the first "smart bombs" was called "RAZON."=20
Maurice Schecter was so kind as to send me a copy of some=20
documentation of this system.  The radio receiver in the bomb
was a BC-454, run on 24 volts of batteries.  It connected to=20
tone-detection circuits to control bomb flight.
Here is a film about the system:

While you can't see the receiver, other than the rear connector
through a hole in the receiver assembly, you do get a nice shot
of the SCR-274N installation in a B-17, while they're showing the
installation of the RAZON transmitter.
But they got the negative backwards ;).
Neat film.
