[ARC5] LS-3 Speaker

[Joe Connor via ARC5]

And let's not forget that the LS-3 just looks right alongside of or on top of a BC-342 or BC-348.

 That is probably because the LS-3 was ubiquitous in the USAF from the late
forties through the eighties!  I ordered one for a bench mockup in 1985, and
it was of new manufacture!

Meir is absolutely correct.  In many Signal Corps photos, those taken at
AAF, and after 1947 at USAF installations, you'll see desk-mounted
BC-348 receivers with an LS-3 speaker. One might be inclined to say that the
LS-3 was the de facto, but un-designated ground-based speaker for the BC-348
for the reasons Meir points out.

aircraft, from obvious reasons, like it was a bit noisy there... The crew
used headsets, through which the crew interphone was also operating. No
airborne installation manual calls out any speaker for the system. With that
said, a BC-348 used by perhaps in a temporary ground control station may
have been used with any speaker that was available if speaker operation was
feasible in a given environment. The LS-3 speaker was used officially with
the BC-312 and BC-342 which are ground equipment.
