George & Group,

SIG 5 included application info on a lot of items.  But if the application 
was more general, such as microphones or some canvas, the entry would just 
say something like "for general radio use".  However, the SIG 5 entry that 
contains the app info is in the main catalog by Signal Corps Stock Number.  
So first you have to cross the nomenclature to stock number.
