[Milsurplus] Beachmaster specs

Hi Larry!  that is a beauty I dug out the radio crafts.. as usual the
Gernsback artists did a great job on the cover.... no this is a different
speaker system,  looks like just a single driver handling all that power!
We would love to have one of those also.....

somewhere in the pile I have a group of info on plane mounted speaker
systems for shouting surrender as they flew over islands that had enemy
stragglers on them!

NOTE look at '

http://www.smecc.org/pab-1_beach_master.htm

I just added a 2 page article by  L. Vieth of bell labs that was  written
in 1946 that appeared in a prelim. version 'vintage electrics' published by
SMEC ( now known as SMECC) 10/11/91
