[ARC5] AN/ARC-3 ?

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Ben,

The earliest manual date that I have is AN 08-30ARC3-2 Operating Manual 
dated 20 December, 1944.  So first hardware probably appeared in early or mid 
1944.  The matching Maintenance Manual, AN 08-30ARC3-3, was apparently dated 
05 June 1945.  The latter was revised at least once when it became AN 
16-30ARC3-3 and then again when it became T.O. 12R2-2ARC3-2 (the one that you 
probably have).  This was revised in 1958 and again in 1959.  I haven't looked 
it up but along the line coverage was added for AN/ARC-36 and AN/ARC-49 
(mainly increases in total channels).  AFAIK, there were no revisions after 1959.
