[ARC5] Product detectors - the name.

I was in SAC when Curtis LeMay, Barry Goldwater, and Art Collins introduced SSB to the USAF.

Barry Goldwater was a USAF Reserve General.

This was in the period between 1955 and 1958. In 1957 we had a 75A-4 in the Bergstom AFB MARS Shack.

  My error.  Read it too quickly and read it wrong.  Osterman 3rd edition reports it ended being sold in 1958. It started in 1955 as others have correctly reported.

    Well Osterman is wrong if he says 1958.  I checked  the 2nd edition of Moore's "Communications Receivers" and it says 1955.   The 75A-4 shows up in the 1955 ARRL Handbook too.

      According to Osterman's book, the 75A-4 was introduced in 1958 and the
      NC-109 was introduced in 1957.

        Did that pre-date the National NC-109?
