[ARC5] [Milsurplus] FT-486 Shock Mount

[Mike Hanz]

The mount isn't in that section of the manual, Dave.  It's only in the 
*late* (Nov 1944) RC-34 manual and was specifically designed for AT-6 
and BT-13 installations because those aircraft were well known as 
"beaters" due to  poorly dampened vibration.  The 6F8G (VT-99) had 
proven particularly prone to failure with vibration (which is one of the 
reasons the BC-347 was replaced by the AN/AIC-2), so....:-\
