[ARC5] Pre-ARC-5 rigs.

[Mike Everette via ARC5]

This shows the control unit for a WE 20-B receiver.  The actual radio was under the right seat; all the controls (tuning, gain, bandswitch etc) were connected to the head via tachshafts similar to those of the ARC-5.

Note also the telegraph key on the right side of the cockpit.

The question is, when was the photo taken?

It's known that AE left her telegraph key behind at Miami; also her trailing wire antenna.  She was obsessed with "saving weight."
