[ARC5] Navy LM Use

[Glen Zook]

The 618T series equipment was definitely in use in 1962.  The installation manual for the 618T-1, 618T-2, and 618T-3 was copyrighted on 15 January 1961 and the radios had been in use before then.

Here is the notation on the copyright:

I am just curious: on what evidence do you base that belief?
