> Got another nice piece- a TU-22 tuning unit, 350-650 KC.  
> Here's a neat bit of data: The contract is 1508-NY-41.  
> The contract for the first generation of W.E. SCR-274N is 1509-NY-41. 
> Must have been part of the big build-up contracts in 1940.  

Thoe are actually orders, not contracts. One contract can have many 
orders. Signal Corps contracts look like "W28-099-ac-232", and are 
generally not found on the equipment (sometimes developemental or early 
stuff with the T series "tenative" nomenclatures have it).

Still, your idea of the buildup seems quite valid.
