[Milsurplus] Odd SCR-274N rack manufacturer and other questions

[Todd Bigelow - PS]

Well, the mother lode of command set accessories has arrived from
overseas, and one of the items included is a single receiver rack made
by Aircraft Accessories of Forth Worth, Texas. Anyone ever heard of or
seen anything by these folks before? Also have a 3-receiver rack with an
odd tag. It has the rack designation only, no manufacturer's name or
anything else. Was this a common practice? Some of the items have tiny
round metal tags hooked to them listing refurb dates in the mid-50s.
Certainly different than the paper tag or ink stamp approach. Why were
some items made with a metal tag while others have a decal instead? Was
this a cost-cutting measure later in the war?

 Most of the stuff received is SCR-274N which I don't really want, but
got in leu of the correct ARA/ATA and ARC-5 components I need since much
of it is interchangable. Sometime in the near future I'll make a swap
list of the items I have and the items I need or would accept in trade.
For now it's just amazing to look at it all.
