[Milsurplus] WWII Facsmile

[Al Klase]

Thanks, Robert,

The Signal Corps history book says they used fax to send recent aerial 
recon photos to Omaha Beach from England via VHF radio relay (possibly 
AN/TRC-1) on the Isle of Wight as early as D+2.  I'm trying to determine 
what equipment was used.

RC-58/BC-918 is interesting, but it sounds like it just does a 3/4 inch 
wide tape.  The Gordon Eliot White March 68 CQ article is online.
