I've never found any reference to a tuning cable tee for the AN/ARC-5 or 
earlier command sets, but the postwar Type 12 series had one...part 
number 14603, used for daisy chaining two control boxes to either the 
receiver or to the L-10A loop antenna.  It's shown with Army and Navy 
analogs for the larger 1930s cables at

John, there was never a military designation for the #14603 as far as 
I've been able to find, though ARC did produce an improved version of 
the MC-215 elbow and relabled it the ARC #16158.
