While not typical, perhaps, the USN did have ATC installations where the ATC had 
been modified to T-47A configuration and installed in late WW II aircraft.  A 
case in point is the PB2Y-5R at the National Museum of Naval Aviation which has 
2 of this type on board.  It also has 2 BC-348-Q receivers, a trailing - wire 
antenna, a LF antenna matching unti, and a DPDT antenna switch.   An SCR-522 is 
also on board along with a ZB-3 and ARB receiver.  This aircraft was apparently 
used by Adm. Forrest Sherman of Adm. Nimitz staff.

ps I restored all of this installation over the past 4 years.
