[Milsurplus] SCR-274N questions

[Jack Antonio]

First, this question refers specifically to the Army's
procurement of the SCR-274N, *not* to the Navy's AN/ARC-5 or ATA
and ARA.

1. When did the Army stop procuring the sets? Or, when was
the last contract let? At what point did the Army say they
had enough? Prior to the end of the war, or were production
contracts cancelled at the end of the war?

2. When did production actually cease?

3. And where did Colonial Radio fit into this time line? I'm
wondering if Colonial was brought into the picture to increase
production as a second source, or was it a "follow on" to continue
production after the end of any Western Electric contracts.

Thanks
