>Hi all, I am interested to know if any of you out there have any info on the history of radio usage on the lakers, especially the carferries in the late 20's and 30's.  I know that the SS Milwaukke did not have radio on board at the time of her sinking but that the Ann Arbor #4 did, also I do not know of the make and models of the radios in use at the time.
>I am working with the SS City of Milwaukee to establish some history and maybe duplicate the radio room.  Maybe someone can point me to some sources for this information.  I hope to visit the Wisconsin museum and its arcives some day.  Thanks, "sparks"  SSCM <
