[ARC5] BC-375 / BC-191 Owners:

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The Signal Corps Stock Number for the BC-375's is 2C6365(*).  SIG 5-1 
(Nomenclature to Stock No.crossref) 1946 lists BC-375-C, -D, -E, -F & -G.  SIG 5 
Volume 1 (June and December) 1945 does not list -G and says that -F was 
canceled.  Neither list -A or -B.  I don't have anything earlier covering 
SUBCLASS 2C.

My only guess as to why there may be no -A or -B would be the same reason 
that there is no BC-348-A.  Both the BC-348 and the BC-375 sets were 
modifications of another set differing mainly (I know that there are other 
differences between the transmitters) in primary input voltage (28 versus 14).  
Judging by the dates on manuals that I have, both the BC-191-C and the BC-375-C 
came out in 1939.
