[ARC5] A.R.C., "ARC-5", "ARC-12" and "ARC-type-12"

The 1943 Link Trainer whose electronics I'm working on restoring has that A-N range simulator built into the instructor's desk. The motor-driven keyer for the range, station IDs and threshold markers is a bit of a kludge but fun to watch at work.

    The AN/ARN-30 is the military version of an "Omni"      nav system. I recall using a commercial Omni receiver when I was      flying, back in the 1960s. The omni gave a 360 degree "to" or      "from" indication on a cockpit dial. This was a great advantage      over the Adcock or four-course radio range it was replacing. The      Adcock, if you ever heard/saw old flying movies, had the pilot "on      the beam," which led to or from the station. On one side of the      beam you heard an "A" in your headsets, on the other an "N"   In      the center you heard a steady tone, interrupted occasionally by      the Morse identifier.
