Fwd: [Boatanchors] Need help on McMurdo Silver RF Generator

[Richard Post]

It's npt off-topic.  And according to my notes (don't own that month 
of the magazine) Radio News magazine,  December 1947, p. 58 has an 
article and the schematic for the McMurdo-Silver model 906 signal 
generator.  Maybe check an old library or interlibrary loan?  Silver 
had several same-form-factor pieces including a Signal Tracer, a 
VTVM, and a Sweep generator.
