[Milsurplus] BC-342s as Surveilance RXs

[Marty R's GI-stuff haunt]

Have foto in "Battle of Wits"  Shows room full of fellas manning
(personing now?) an intercept station at Tynell Avon, England.

From context, guess it was connected to Bletchley Park

RXs aren't

    Super Pros
    SX-28s
    AR-88s

but

    BC342s

All recognizable by little vertical case pull-handle & bright antenna
post at upper right.  Plus nearest one betrays fan-shaped dial glass.

RXs marked "1600-1800," etc.  Looks like everyone got their own 200kcs
to watch.

Anyone read this 'codebreakers' rendition?  Kinday mathy & lots of
details on personalities & eqpt. built PLUS care in using results to
protect secrets.

Allowing deaths @ Coventry was complete falsehood, f'rinstance.

Fascinating disclosure is NIN Purple Code used off-shelf Cutler Hammer
Strosier 6-way relay as basis.  Guy thumbing Graybar (or equiv.)
thot one wud be a help in code-bust and, at war's end, it was found
that is just what NIN used.
