[Milsurplus] Turbo Encabulator

[gl4d21a at juno.com]

Back in the '50s, I inherited a '30s console broadcast radio from my gransfather's estate which was a two unit design and used a Jones connector on the cable between the two chassis.  Unfortunately, I do not recall the radio brand, but it had a "Loftin-White" (i.e. direct connected) audio system.  Anyone know who used the Loftin White design? And when?

Yeah, I recall that even back in the 1960's (and I DO remember the '60's) "Cinch" and "Jones" were used interchangeably.  

They did not seem ot appear in Amateur projects 'til after the war, and except for the plug on the BC-348 mount, nothing seems to appear on Military equipment til after the war.  

The BC-348 plug had an RCA number and seemed to have a slightly different configuration than the typical Jones plug.  The Marconi R-1155 used on Lancasters had the real article which seemed to be a holdover from similar commercial aviation radios.  The BC-639 looks to employ the earliest US use of Jone's plugs, but that is a British design.  So the Question remains, "Who was Jones?"

  Cinch connectors appears to still produce Jones plugs

cake in my view.

Earliest use of "Jones" plugs that I've been able to find in available 
literature seems to be on Marconi Aviation Radios in the '30's.  My 
question: Who was Jones?

I haven't heard that mentioned in years. I remember when BBN pulled the wool
over the engineering community's ears in the 50s with the "wemie crystal".
