[ARC5] Basic Question

[Mark K3MSB]

The BC-451 had a "key" built in - a big button!   if I recall the
installation on the center cockpit overhead in the B-17, the pilot would
need to reach up, turn his palm to the rear of the aircraft,  and press
towards the rear to close the key.

I'd like to know if that was ever used.
