[ARC5] BC-453-E and C-570A/A Question

[zakariya.abu at yandex.com]

With the reference to my yesterday's posting, after studying more old 
manuals for larger aircraft from the 1950s and 1960s, incl. the KC-97F, 
I realized that there must have been a late line of the 
ARC-5/SCR-274-related equipment which accommodated the Dzus fasteners.

Enclosed is a copy of a page from the KC-97 flying tanker manual 
depicting the BC-454 receiver's remote control (3 to 6 MHz). The set was 
used on-board along with the ART-13 transmitter.

Does anyone have a manual for the ARC-5 or SCR-274, which listed the 
late version control units with Dzus fasteners in the shape as from the 
enclosure, and could share it?
