That is/was the audio/control switch to select between acft radio &
audio ckt.s in ww2.
Came up with a BC-1366 yesterday at a AWA meet. Same function as
a '366 but 1000 was added to dog-tag id. Note late WW2 Dayton
contract.

PLUS this one's been govt.-altered to say VHF LIASON instead of
LIASON. And it's changed to say VHF COMMAND rather than COMMAND.
If this isn't a trick, it supports conjecture that BC-348s/375s were shut
down in Europe fm early 1945 on. Replacement was over-channel vhf
repeater system using war-weary B17s.
Fact that SCR-522 stopped hf command radio in Europe seems generally
accepted. Hence "VHF COMMAND" label obvious

This little example may be the vhf repeater rosetta stone
