[ARC5] White faced BC-442

Actually there are 2 photos of what appears to be a BC-442 with a white meter -- Figure 1, page x; and Figure 45, page 23.

Years ago I made a complete photocopy of an original SCR-274N manual.  Will have to dig that out and compare the pictures to be sure.

In truth, "th' 'lectric'ty don't care."  But if it did exist, it'd be a nice collector find.

 If you're referring to T.O. 08-10-50
 dated February 15, 1943, Figure 1 page 
 x clearly shows a black faced meter in the BC-442-A.
