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

Here's two pix:

This little example may be the vhf repeater rosetta stone
