[Milsurplus] WWII Facsmile

[Ray Chase]

Al:
I have TM 11-374 on RC-58-B, Tape Facsimile Equip. dated 23 feb. 44 as well 
as TM 11-375B on RC-120 & AN/TXC-1 Facsimile Equip. dated 5 April 44.  While 
I have a pretty good index, my TM's are not so well organized but if you 
want either of them I will dig them out.
Ray
