[ARC5] Trivial question. Meaning of "SCR"

[Glen Zook]

Wireless in the British Empire.  However, radio was in use here in the "colonies" even before World War I.  Remember, Americans and the British are separated by a "common" language!

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".
