Seeking help to fill-in the gaps on SCR-274N contracts.
They used an Order number followed by 
a Signal Corps contract number.
SCR-274N data is harder to find, since beyond 
the first 1941 equipment runs, the only place you 
find both these numbers together is on the original 
equipment boxes.  If you can fill-in any of these blanks
and include any hints or clues for dates you might find
on tags or paperwork with the units, or if you have any 
makers, order numbers or contracts not on this list,
we'd all be grateful for the info:
