I understand BC-348/ 224 production was circa 100,000. Anyone have a ballpark
figure for the BC-312 series? I was looking at a '68 FAIR book the other day, and
i see they still offer 348's in that year, but no -312's. I suppose also maybe, that a 
lot of 312's went to foreign militaries - actually i don't know of any other than 
France, where the receiver seems to have been used through the 1960s. Perhaps
there was just not the demand overseas for a HF receiver for a multiengine planes,
in the postwar era - i mean, the BC-348. 
Interesting to see how good the supply of unissued or overhauled equipment was
still in 1968. ATD, GO-9, GP, BC-348, No.19, all the classics.
