  BC-611 development.

Green Book #1, the Emergency," sez Galvin built this completely on spec 
then
invited the Army for a look.  Reviewers just went nuts & ordered batch

Which caused some angst

Do recall that AAF Hap Arnold ordered Navy "Command Sets" directly fm
ARC & prevailed in his insistance on suffixing the assigned SCR ID with 
'N."
For Navy

Same thing happened with Link cop FM radios after hugely successful
Louisianna tests in 3-4/41... which plain ended the SCR-245's life.
Direct order from WI NG.

============================================
Marty, et. al.

I think we all know that left to the normal bureaucracy, the Sig. Corp. would have bought all the radios needed to fight WW1 all over.  Somehow, these government agencies never seem to be very forward looking.  Reading all the after action reports indicates it was good that there were some mavericks in there upsetting the system.
