[ARC5] RAX Receiver Component Numbers (CG-46xxx) Info Request

[Mike Hanz]

Not all -1 suffixes on Navy aircraft equipment denoted a 28v version of 
a 12v set, Mike.  Examples are the Navy ARD, ARD-1, and ARD-2, as well 
as the ARC and ARC-1 receivers that became the AN/APR-1.  Those examples 
only reflect improvements, not a primary voltage change.  The XRAX on 
the "flight deck" described at http://aafradio.org/flightdeck/RAX.html 
has no mention of a RAX-1 anywhere.  The cover page of the Instruction 
Book for the first RAX sets (GEI-14926B for Nos-74810 dated 29 June 
1940, serial numbers 1 to 75 inclusive) specifically states "for Navy 
Model RAX".  Section IX is entitled "Modification of Navy Model RAX to 
RAX-1 Equipment" but it is simply changing our the support racks and 
adding a junction box to the mix.  The receivers themselves show no 
change in model number or any internal modifications.

73,
Mike
