In the late 70s I saw probably over a thousand overhauled LM freq meters 
being sold surplus at Alameda Naval Air Station. Huge quantity. They looked BRAND 
NEW, flawless,  and had new calibration books. I had high hopes because the 
same auction had hundreds of overhauled ART 13s in boxes stacked high outdoors. 
A few of the boxes had been opened by curious bidders and all the ART 13s 
looked really bad cosmetically, crude painting, lots of dents and scratches and 
even dirt oversprayed. Didnt give you much confidence that the overhaul inside 
was very thorough. They were grouped in big lots so the purchase of one or two 
was impossible. I think most of the ART 13s went for about $28 each in big 
lots and the LMs were about 8 or 9 dollars.

Does anyone know how the calib books for BC 221 and LMs were made in WW 2? 
Did someone hand type each entry????
