The very valuable SHIPS 242A that Robert publishes has only the following
for the GP-3:
(1) It was ordered in 1936.
(2) It is the first GP-* made by Westinghouse. All GPs to follow were
made by Westinghouse. GP (1934) and GP-2 were RCA. GP-1 was Western
Electric.
(3) It and all other GP-series covered 350-1500 and 3000-9050 kHz.
So there's not much of a clue to your mystery there.
What I wonder is, do you have a GP-3? This must be very rare.
