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

[Mike Hanz]

I have never seen a Navy dynamotor with the same large  "in your face" 
voltage label as the Signal Corps used on their twin voltage equipment, 
Todd.  Navy techs are perhaps taught to read the numbers more carefully 
than GIs? :-D   More seriously, it's a good idea, sorta like the doctor 
marking which foot he needs to operate on in surgery, but the Navy 
didn't seem to be so concerned about it, and even the Signal Corps 
didn't apply it universally...none of the SCR-274N sets used the marking 
convention.

I saw that particular RAX-1 and it seemed apparent to me that whoever 
had done the conversion simply transplanted one of the DM-35 (or 
similar) Signal Corps dynos onto the RAX dyno mount.  It's one that 
employed the standardized small receiver dynamotor frame size used by a 
bunch of sets, including the command receivers.  As a result of the 
modification, I was a little surprised at its final price.
