I have a set of six of these relays on a plate with tree crystals taken from a BC-733 receiver that was used together with the ARN-5 receiver as an ILS (instrument  landing system)
One is the glide path and the other is the localizer receiver.
I have two of these ILS systems, one is WW2 with six channels and the is other post war where the system has been upgraded to 12 channels.
Of course these kind relais can be used on many other systems but in the BC-733 for sure.

Hi Mark,

Definitely ARC style relays.  The ceramic insulation is pretty
distinctive.  Not sure of all their uses, but I have a crystal frequency
selector hulk with ten of them arrayed behind the twenty crystal
sockets.  One larger DPDT relay selects which bank of ten can get
selected.  I suspect they're from a postwar ARC set, but I don't collect
those.

If anyone can use this assembly, let me know.
