[ARC5] WWII Tower LF Transmitter Models- Info??

[Tim]

Hi Dave - I may have forwarded this earlier to another (?) group seeking
similar info.

Some photo's of a WWII AAF control tower/comm shack, ETO display.  It is at
the "American Air Power Museum" in Farmingdale NY at the site of Republic
Aviation (P-47, F-105 etc. production line).
Maybe not a fixed site control tower (it's in a trailer) but your friends
might get some ideas on how this museum saw things....
The 4th photo down shows a "Sonar" transmitter/receiver. Might be HF/LF but
it looks like VHF - I'm not familiar with it.  There is also a BC-348 and
some ARC/SCR-274N HF gear and a RATT terminal displayed as well.  Try to
ignore the TG-34 Morse Code trainer on the rear wall!  LOL  Otherwise no
guarantees on its historical accuracy but it displays well.....  Note map
on bulkhead - England...
