Groups,

NAVSHIPS 900,116 is the Catalogue of Electronic Equipment, which replaced 
SHIPS 275 in 1946.  Lists (usually with photos) all of the Ground and Shipboard 
radio, radar, IFF, sonar, Teletype and FSK, etc. equipment in Naval service at 
the time.  Last revised 1952.  1448 pages.  It does not cover Test Equipment 
(there was another NAVSHIPS for that) or Aircraft sets.  For those interested 
in such things, there is only one known original, currently aboard USS 
Pampanita.

Last month I posted a note saying I might do some more copies of it if there 
was any interest and I had several responses.  It took me a month to finish up 
the scanning, cleaning and straightening, and I think I've notified everyone 
who responded that it's now ready to print.  But if not, or if anyone missed 
the earlier post and is interested, contact me direct.  Price is currently 
$66.80 plus $8.29 domestic shipping via Media Mail.  Overseas would be higher.  
Screwpost bound in three volumes.  Shipping weight 10 pounds.
