I would second Dave's request for info on the "special applications" (from
AN 16-30ARC5-2 para. 4-38) of T-15, T-16, and T-17/ARC-5.  It's the greatest mystery in Type K command set history.

I'd also find Dave's other request interesting, which came out incompletely in his recent post.  I think the item of interest is that shown here:

Dave...I have a big question about that coil.  What makes it a BC-A*-230 coil?  There are electrical differences, but it's difficult (to me) to distinguish *visually* between that and a GF-* coil...the markings all indicate to me that its a GF-* coil, which would still be remarkable!
