[Milsurplus] Aircraft "football" loop.

[Scott Johnson]

Keep in mind this same Bendix loop was being installed on airplanes as late 
as 1957 (DC-7B and L-1049 Constellation) after this, the goniometer type 
loop were typically used on large aircraft. I have a PALLET full of them! 
Some were even used with the Collins 51Y-3, as well as the MN-26.
