Agree that the title is certainly misleading, but it has become an 
informally accepted  convention to list SCR-274N parts under the 
umbrella ARC-5 nomenclature, in order to maximize the number of folks 
looking at the auction.  There are too many potential munging variations 
of SCR-274N to do a decent search on, and some sellers simply don't know 
the difference and wouldn't put it in correctly unless guided to do so.  
I've long since stopped worrying about such errors - life is too short.  
To his credit, Dr. Lakin *did* describe it accurately in the description 
portion, rather than perpetuating the title information.  I also 
appreciated the lack of "WOW" and "incredibly rare" appellations in the 
narrative... :-)
