[ARC5] Radios in the Movies

[Robert Eleazer]

I saw the 1971 film "Vanishing Point" for the first time last weekend.  In views of the radio station where Clevon Little was making his announcements, what I guess was supposed to be the station engineer's control board had a WWII ADF control box.

In the original Flight of the Phoenix in the rear of the cockpit there was a couple of 274-N transmitters, an ART-13 and a BC-348.  And just think, they had to build an airplane in the desert because the radio was broken and they could not put out any kind of a signal.  Poor chaps only had 3 radio transmitters and enough hand cranked electric power to light up the place at night.
