[GreenKeys] Little Army Patch panel: Cable color codes?

[Sheldon Daitch]

Roy,

actually he was probably one of the techs at C Site, the receiver site, from
the early days in 1962, if my memory is not failing me.

I seemt o recall that part of the clean up was to take the double T-S jacks
apart, to make sure there were no pockets of Brasso left on the jack.  This was

not an assembly line operation, that is, it was not a fast project, he'd spend
all night on night shift, doing this stuff.

I had cc'd the note to one of my other buddies at Greenville, to see if his
memory and mine agree.
