Hi
I suspect that you would have seen a lot of stuff from General Radio
if he was working on the east coast. Exactly which models depends on
when the particular company stocked up. Basic stuff:
VTVM
RF / AF generators
Power supply(s)
Wavemeter(s)
Power meter
Past that, probably not a lot that wasn't custom made. Scopes only
became common after the war.
