[ARC5] P-40 SCR-274-N Display

[Mark K3MSB]

 That's a very nice and unique display setup he has!!

Yes, a number of us have full up and running SCR-274N systems.   You can
see mine at

The only thing I would note that stands out to me is the leg mount straight
key.  I doubt they were ever used, as I doubt any straight key was ever
used in a "real" SCR-274N setup. The  SCR-274N system was used for short
range plane to plane and plane to ground transmissions using AM.   To the
best of my knowledge, SCR-274N's were not used for CW communications as we
use them today.   The only operational usage for CW was when the pilot
pushed the large button on the pilots control box (key down) so that a
ground station could provide a bearing to the aircraft.

Thanks for sharing those images!   Very nice!
