[Milsurplus] Mercury Comms

[J. Forster]

When I was consulting at Rockwell, there were guys who still had Saturn 5 prints
around. They were pretty nice about copying them for me for the stuff I bought
at C&H warehouse (not the store on Colorado) in Pasadena.

In the late 60s, that kind of hardware (IRIG FM/FM telemetry...  sensors,
commutators, VCOs, transmitters) was about $20 per item. They were dumping the
stuff for the 2.2 to 2.3 GHz digital stuff. (SGLS ?)
