[Milsurplus] new paper acquisitions

Barry,

I'm sure it is Postwar.  There are three volumes to the series, the one that 
you found, one titled "A.M. Receivers and Transmitters" and one titled "FM 
Receivers and Transmitters".  Page counts are 44, 43 and 44.  Information on 
almost all of the ground sets came from TM 11-310, mostly later issues.  And most 
if not all of this information was classified RESTRICTED until after VJ Day 
(FYI, RESTRICTED is today called CONFIDENTIAL, CONFIDENTIAL is now SECRET, 
etc.).  They were probably published by the Commerce Department in an effort to 
help sell off surplus.  Since that didn't start until I think 1948, the Schematic 
Manuals should be later than that.

On the other one, someone may be needing the TA-6 schematic.  Someone I know 
has turned up what's supposed to be a complete TA-6 and RA-10, with cables, 
control box(es), antennas, etc.  My understanding is that they were removed 
during a transport aircraft restoration.
