[ARC5] TCS (& other equipment) spare/running parts?

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

TCS spare parts kits came in haze gray steel boxes, as did those for most 
shipboard gear.  ATA/ARA and some other aircraft set spares came in haze gray 
wooden boxes. Although a few aircraft set spares boxes were steel (ARD is 
one I know of).  Size of the boxes varies considerably.  The spares boxes 
tend to approximate the size of the radios or other equipment.  Although the 
ATA/ARA one could be said to be closer to the size of a typical installation 
(2 or three receivers and 1 or 2 transmitters).  As the aircraft spares were 
not carried in the aircraft, I've no idea how they decided whether to use 
steel or wood.
