[ARC5] Inspector

[Mike Morrow]

That would be a challenging quest, because the Army did not purchase the AN/ARC-5.  The vast majority of the Army's 1940 and later SCR-274-N sets (quite different from the USN's 1943 and later AN/ARC-5 sets made by Aircraft Radio Corp. and Stromberg-Carlson) came from Western Electric.  There's little doubt inspection would have been made by Army Signal Corps inspectors rather than Army Air Force inspectors.
