The information I have here indicates that the first TCS was adopted from
a Collins maritime design, the 18Q-1 set.  But it also says this set was
first adopted in 1941, and I thought the TCS was earlier than that.
All listed as "general service" unless otherwise noted:

TCS  Collins 1941  
TCS-1, -2 and -3  Collins 1941 for Lend Lease
TCS-4  Collins  1941 
TCS-5  Collins  1942  
TCS-6   Hazeltine Electronics Corp.1943 
TCS-7 to TCS-12 inclusive Collins 1943
( some question about TCS-8; anyone?)
TCS-13  Hamilton Radio Corp.  1943
TCS-14  Air King Products Co.  1943

One of the most successful and widely-fielded sets of WWII,
the TCS saw service from PT-boats to battleships 
to sub-hunting airships to shore-party jeeps and
just about everywhere else you could mount the thing.
