[Milsurplus] AN/GRC9's manufacturer.

Mon, 8 Dec 2003 20:37:05 EST

Group,

Avco bought Crosley late 40's or early 50's.  I have an RT-77A on a '51 Order 
that says something like "Crosley, a Division of Avco" or words to that 
effect - the radio is over in my storage building.  By the late 50's/early 60's the 
nameplates just say "Avco".

"Maxwell" is a new one on me, Meir.  What's the order number and 
nomenclature?

I have an early RT-77 ('46 order) but it's also a couple of miles away.  I'll 
check who made it next time I'm over there.  

Besides Crosley and Rauland, BC-1306's were also made by Howard Radio, but I 
don't recall ever seeing any AN/GRC-9 components made by them.

The German contractor was Telefunken.  

GRC-9's or at least most of the components were also made in France.  I think 
one of the contractors was Thomson.  I may be able to confirm that.
