[ARC5] AM-26/AIC and A.R.C. type connectors

[David Stinson]

One unusual application: Uncle experimented with V-1 knock-offs in the late
1949s; the U.S.'s first "cruise missles."  Some V-1s included an automatic 
beacon
transmitter with trailing wire antenna, used to DF the location of the 
weapon in
the terminal phase of the flight.  The U.S. copies used a transmitter with a
near identical footprint, but a better design, the T-19.  It uses 
"ARC-style"
connectors, though I don't remember which ones at the moment without
mining one out of the cave.  I imagine they were used because
so many of then were available and cheap.
