I have that article as I do all of his articles on the command equipment
plus notes from various sources.  In those notes is a comment that it was
the Admiralty that did the conversions.  I need to find it and see if I can
back trace it to the source.

Here's where I have a small niggling problem.  The Lorenz system was a
German development and was used not only in Germany but in other countries
like England.  Since both sides in the war used it, it would seem reasonable
to use alternate means since the other side could use the system to home in
on each other's airfields even at night or in a solid overcast.  So was the
Lorenz system still active through the war or did the British adapt the AAF
SCS-51 system or ???
