[Milsurplus] 1944 '01A????

[David Edsall]

Hi Rob and the gang,

It turns out that there are three pieces of equipment that employ the O1A / 
VT-30 listed in TO 08-1-25, Vaccum Tube Complements of Signal Equipment and 
Test Data, dated 04 October 1944.  All are originally commercial test 
equipment (no. of tubes in parens):
Hickok Model 467 (1 ea.)
Model 685 Type 2 Tube Checker (I-56-A) (1 ea.).  The manufacturer of the 
Model 685 is not listed (does anyone know?).  It was a component of I-56-A 
test set.
Triplett Model 1210-A (1 ea.)
Looks like the kind of stuff that would be found in many service shops.
73, David W1TDD
