[ARC5] Trivial question. Meaning of "SCR"

[Meir WF2U]

In American English "wireless" is "radio". British (and Commonwealth)
English preserved "wireless" for "radio" :-)!
The word "Radio" was already used in the US in WW1.

I have some difficulty with "Set, Complete, Radio" if this terminology
dates from WW1. Surely radio of that era was referred to as "wireless".

"Wireless" as a term was so entrenched in the public's minds that even
as late as 1970, my grandmother and my father's uncle and aunt (all
80+) still used the term in preference to "radio".
