[HBR] Article for HBR companion Tx from '62 Orr Handbook?

[Charles McLaughlin]

Hi George,

I have a couple of his handbooks.  Don't know if one is the '62 but  
IIRC it does have the companion HBT-200 (?) SSB TX.  I can check when  
I go back to work Monday.  Sigh.  In my wild youth I was going to  
pursue my ticket (USAF airborne radio repair and all WWII/Korean age  
equipment - just fell in love with it) but 'Nam wasn't conducive to  
follow through and then life happened.  Maybe someday I will actually  
do it.  In the meantime, I lurk on this site.  I'll let you know  
Monday what I have.

Chuck
