[HBR] Regenerative communications receiver

[radio at daileyservices.com]

They were used in "VT" ammunition.. typically, VT-frag and VT-non frag. 
Essentially an oscillator that when approaching a metallic object went off 
freq, and shazzam.. or at least that's how it was explained to me.

Tom - USN - former RMC.... and in the sordid daze of my junior-sailorship... 
the 1st. Loader on a 3"-.50 dual mount.
