[ARC5] Canadian SCR-274N

[CWH]

I have a BC 455-B with a Royal Canadian Air Force  ID plate on the side of 
the tube
shield. It has a smaller plate just underneath the ID plate.  This second 
plate lists
modifications.  This plate is stamped B2. Its been years since I have had 
the bottom
plate off but I think this modification replaced many of can capacitors with 
micas.

I  think I bought this receiver at Fair Radio probably in the 60's.

    I am just back from a tour of the D-Day invasion beaches. At the
museum at Arromanches I saw among the vast number of mscl collected
objects, an SCR-274N receiver, all bare aluminum, and quite polished
(could not see the dial so do not know the frequency) - it bore an ID
plate with the legend "Royal Canadian Forces" and other data, attached
to the side of the tube shield. The kind of data plate usually found on
top of the cover over the tuning capacitor.


I never saw an id plate in that position.

     There was not a lot of aircraft gear there aside from a British
aviation engine - not a Merlin - obviously salvaged from a well-crashed
plane.


     Not that this gives much information. Just thought I'd mention it.
