[Milsurplus] BC-474 versions

[Hue Miller]

I don't really know any more about these radios.
The MI-number is the number under which RCA offered its
catalog items to the world. You would think however that
Sweden had its own nomenclature, to be applied to the radio
during manufacture; perhaps in the rush before the BC-
nomenclature was decided, and changes added, to meet 
Army requirements, the MI-number just was retained.

It does seem to me that the MI-8751 cabinet while good
enuff for say, Forest Service or Army peacetime field maneuvers,
it was just not rugged enough for combat zone hard handling.

In the years before war came, all the manufacturers including
German ones, as their product catalog were selling equipment 
to any buyer with the money, equipment which later of course
was produced entirely for the military. Examples would be this
MI-8751, the Westinghouse "HR", which became the TBY, and
the German, Telefunken 100WS transmitter.  -Hue Miller
