Some time ago in one of several RS-6 discussions we were talking about
why it was 4 components and that the components would fit into the
pockets of a flight suit but they would just rip out during a jump, etc.

I have come across a complete RS-6 system including a pretty heavy canvas
bag which held everything. The bag is about 10" x 11" x 18" and has
enough heavy duty clasps and leather on it to where it has to be
something you clip onto the parachute harness (if needed). The bag
contains -5- smaller black waterproof bags which contain the Receiver,
Transmitter, Power Supply, Regulator, and a small bag containing the
antenna wire, 2 ground clamps, two insulators, some crystals, and an
earphone. 

Cool !
