The ROIF makes interesting reading. Does anyone know where I can find a copy on pdf form?

That would make sense for the early 1960s, with more reliable equipment
available. In WWII, there was a determined push to provide redundant
capability in more than one crew position. For the SCR-269 ADF in the
B-24 (and in most of the other multi-place bombers), there was a
separate (smaller) I-81-A compass indicator on the pilot's panel and the
larger I-82-A at either the radio operator's or navigator's position.
