    What was the production date of the HT-20?  It seems to 
me that the styling is similar to the SX-42 and 43.
    For those who may not be aware of it there was a 
promotional film made by Hallicrafters about the BC-610 
called _The Voice of Victory_  I may be found at 
http://www.archive.org   and I think someone has posted it 
to You-Tube. At the archive site just search for the title. 
Its in two parts.  It shows the changes the Signal Corps had 
made to the civilian HT-4 to ruggedize it for mobile use.
