[Boatanchors] HQ-129-X Mods in CQ Magazine

[Carl]

A. That link is useless unless you pay to be a subscriber. But thanks 
for the detective work. If you note it was by Orr in the 50's and it is 
titled NC-240D.

B. National designed a NC-240D. Internal documents, engineering 
drawings, etc, were NC-240D. All that came into the Service Dept and 
written correspondence were listed as NC-240D.

C. Initial ads were NC-240D as I remember from the clippings in the 
archives. I have no idea if some idiot at an advertising agency or 
marketing made the change.

D. I always refer to it as NC-240C, NC-240D, etc and have no intention 
or reason to change now.

I should have a copy later today and will post it in the Technical files 
section of my Yahoo group along with the other HQ-129X mod.

Everyone please feel free to add other interesting and applicable 
documents to those files. There are also many other interesting items in 
the Links section.
