[ARC5] ART-13 and BC-348 In Their Natural Habitat

[Scott Johnson]

Looks like an ARC-33 UHF, maybe two, may not have even had a VHF set, most
SAC aircraft of the cold war era did not.
Also, AIC-10 interphone, ARN-14, ARN-21, and there is another ARC-21 control
in the pilots center console
MK I anti skid.  APN-1 low range radio altimeter

Wonder what the blue/yellow/red light tree is up on the glare shield.

Marker beacon on most USAF was a single light (next to pilots clock)

Also, note that the pilots engine instruments are for the jets only.  There
is a tach, must be from the synchrophaser, for recip RPM

On that center pedestal one sees:

C-404A/A       Control panel for the AN/ARC-3 VHF command set
C-455/ARC-21   Pilot's control panel for the AN/ARC-21 MF/HF CW/AM liaison
set
C-403A/A       Control panel for AN/ARN-6 ADF

Back at the radio operator area there is:

C-451/ARC-21   Main control panel for AN.ARC-21 (mentioned already by Scott)
C-544/APX-6    Control panel and DESTRUCT switch for AN/APX-6 IFF

The MF/HF backup set AN/ARC-8 is the T-412/ART-13B (without vernier scale on
dial B).  The only MF frequency shown on the tuning chart for the CDA-T is
500 kHz.  The receiver is an AN/ARR-11...the BC-348-R.

There are no signs of the presence of an AN/ARR-36 auxiliary receiver for
the AN/ARC-21.  That would have required another C-451/ARC-21 as its control
panel.
