[ARC5] Seeking Information: Article on the original ARC commercial Type D receiver

[Mike Morrow]

Hi Dave,

Jack Antonio found it in the QST archive on the ARRL members'
site.  It's QST, October, 1930, and is titled "A Multi-Range
Receiver With Four Tuned Circuits". It describes the A.R.C.-
designed Stromberg-Carlson Model D in a five-page article.
To find it, one must put some of the title words (like "tuned
circuits") in the keyword search box for the archive.  The search
engine is horrifically bad...like 1975 computer technology!
Even though "Aircraft Radio Corporation" appears in the text,
the search engine does not search outside the title...a search
for that phrase fails.  The article was written by Robert S.
Kruse, but if you type "Kruse" into the Author search box, the
search will fail.  One needs "Kruse, Robert S." in the box.
Very very poor.

Plus...the URL can not be used to cite the article to others.
So, ARRL membership is needed to reach the archive.

I'd forgotten how interesting the article is.

73,
Mike / KK5F
