[ARC5] WTD: Yardney spot tuner ctrl box

[Christopher Bowne]

Wonder if those Yardney control boxes were made right up the road from here.  Yardney had a big facility on Mechanic Street in Pawcatuck CT just across the Pawcatuck River from Westerly Rhode Island,making batteries for the DOD as well as commercial ones for many years.  During WW2 Hamilton Standard made propellers and I believe prop pitch motors at the plant.  Not sure when Yardney started operations there.  They moved out of Pawcatuck a number of years ago.
