[ARC5] Saddle Up Boys!

[Michael A. Bittner]

I have a photo that may be of interest to ARC-5 & RU users.  What is the best way to attach a URL to my photo so that list members may view it?

  Well I have a fondness for the RU GF sets.  They are the direct decendents 
  of the radios that Radio Frequency Labs (RFL) designed and that Stromberg 
  Carlson and Aircraft Radio (ARC) built for the Signal Corps when they 
  briefly took over Airmail Service in the late 20's and early 30's.  I have 
  an Instruction Book for the Radio Set Type SCR-AA-192 and Radio Set Type 
  SCR-AA-183 published by ARC.  The front cover says, "Manufactured for Signal 
  Corps, U.S. Army Order No. SC-132311, June 25, 1932".
  The SCR-AA-192 is a  BC-AA-179 TRF receiver using four VT-36 (type 36), one 
  VT-37 (type 37) and one VT-38 (type 38) tubes.  Interestingly the photos 
  show all globe type tubes.  BTW, when did ST bulbs or "shoulder" tubes come 
  on the market?  Five plug-in coil sets are listed along with dynamotor, 
  junctions boxes, control boxes, etc.
  The SCR-AA-183 consistes of the BC-AA-179 receiver and a BC-AA-180 
  transmitter.  The BC-180 uses three VT-25 (type 10) and one VT-52 (special 
  type 45), again all globe types in the photos.
  I have a complete RU/GF set that I will cable up and put on the air one of 
  these days when I get a round tuit.
