How does ARC-5 Basic question end up as a B-52 Radar servo question? Actually, I don't have a problem with this as I find it all fascinating but it is interesting to follow how threads evolve.
Reminds me of the "telephone" game we played in Kindergarten (circa 1957). We sat in a big circle. Teacher whispered a phrase in to the ear of the first child. That "message" was then whispered ear to ear (tx,rx) around the circle ( about 20 kids). The last child in the circle then spoke the message, Usually quite different (and very funny) from the original.

o idea, John. I was aircrew, not in maintenance.
doubt that the radar in our F-models was made by
BM, though. My B-52 "career" ended in 1966.

Mac,
Years ago, maybe 1980, I got an electro-hydraulic servo made by Raytheon
for an IBM RADAR in the B-52.
Any idea what RADAR it might have been for?
Best,
-John
