[Milsurplus] RE: LM Manual

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I have manuals on almost half of the LM series from LM to LM-21.  Most have 
Preliminary manuals with no numbers (unless Bendix, et al put their house 
numbers on them).  And most of the models got final manuals with AN, TM, NAVAER or 
NAVSHIPS numbers.  I have some of the finals scanned for reprinting.

One somewhat misleading feature of the final (and preliminary with 
supplement) manuals is the model chart.  It implies that all of the AC operated models 
were supplied with either one of the two Rectifier Power Supplies (NT-20104 or 
NT-20104A).  The actual situation is that whereas either supply (made by any 
of the several contractors) will operate  any model frequency meter (including 
the DC models if the links are properly set), only one or the other was ever 
supplied with any number model.  And only with the Contractor Code of the 
contractor who made the oscillator.

Finally, LM-21 wasn't a new order, but a modification of LM-18's.
