[WA5CAB@cs.com]

Groups,

For sale  - cover to cover reprint of SHIPS 242A, List of Naval Radio, Radar 
and Sonar Equipment Arranged By Navy Model Letters", January 1945.  152 
pages, 8-1/2x11, screw post bound (GBC or plastic finger binding available 
for $2.00 additional).

This is a reference handbook.  There are no photographs.  The handbook starts 
with an explanation of the Joint Army/Navy (JAN or AN) nomenclature system 
followed by the Navy Model Letter System.  Next is a listing of the two, 
three and four letter Navy Contractor Codes as of late 1944 (These codes were 
also used by the Signal Corps on the nameplates of many sets).  The balance 
of the book is an alphabetical listing of JAN, Navy and (only if procurred by 
USN) Signal Corps equipment.  Each entry consists of seven columns as 
follows: Model (revisions or later orders [suffix A, B, or -1, -2, etc.] in 
general are separate listings), Contractor(s), Year (of first contract or 
order but it isn't specified whether FY or CY), Normal Power Output, 
Emission, Frequency Range, Purpose -Remarks.

Book Rate shipping in the US will be $2.26. Insurance (optional) is an 
additional $1.30.

TCS and TCS-4 components are somewhat scarce, but not nonexistant.  I've 
often wondered why no one ever seemed to mention having any TCS components 
from TCS-1, -2 or -3 .  According to 242A, they were Lend Lease orders.
