[Boatanchors] Help identifying control box

[cemilton at aol.com]

GM gentlemen,

Need help identifying a control box that was used with aircraft 
"command" gear.  This one has a tag that says   Signal Corps   U.S. 
Army,
Radio Control Box BC 944 A.  It's serial # is 5179 and was made by 
Western Electric, NYC.

Black crinkle finish.  Has two tuning dials-------one from 190-550kc  
and the other is 3-6Mc along with the headset, cw/mcw and output 
controls.   The "third" position appears to be just a headset control 
position only with mode selector and volume control.

I'm assuming here that the regular controls were for two ARC-5 
receivers but what was connected to the other position.

I've not been able to find a reference to this particular control box.  
Probably haven't looked hard enuf either.

Anyone have a clue?

Tnx es 73 de W4MIL
Chuck
