My old head is foggy this morning, but by the time of the
1960 A.R.C. catalog:
http://www.bunkerofdoom.com/lit/ARC_1960_cat.pdf
both the R-10 and R-22 had been discontinued in favor
of the type-21A ADF system, which used the R-30.
You could still get the R-11 (towers/weather on Longwave
were still a thing in many parts of the world in 1960)
and the R-19 for simpler, less expensive installations.
ARC was finally moving-away from the silly "whistle-through"
system of broad-selectivity, manually-tuned receivers
and promoting crystal-controlled receive
with the R-34 and multi-channel sorta-synth type-210.
If someone has documentation on the A.R.C. type
deployments between the early '50s type-12 era (Korea)
and 1960s type-210 era, it would be of interest to many.
I need more coffee...
