[Milsurplus] AN/GRC9's manufacturer.

Mon, 8 Dec 2003 21:18:29 -0500

Robert,

Here are the contract numbers:

Maxwell Electronics Corporation
Contract FR-36-039-L-4-44851(E)

Interesting, I just noticed that the contract number is not in the usual
format. Is this a NATO contract number?

The Avco unit label says:

Avco Corporation, Electronics Division
Contract FR-36-039-V-6-31943(E)

Same contract number format as the other one.

Now, that we're on the  GRC-9 subject, tomorrow  I'll take several photos of
the RT-136/GRC-13 and will e-mail them to you.

73, Meir WF2U

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.
