[Milsurplus] ANTRACK

[Hue Miller]

I was last weekend putting away some books and had a brief look at an 
article in a war years or just slightly
after, "Electronic Industries" magazine. There was an article on the Battle 
of the Bulge talking about the
Antrack maintaining US Army communications out of the surrounded village of 
Bastogne, Belgium. Article
identified it as AN/TRC-3, IIRC.  Internet sez this comprises 2 TRC-1 rec, 2 
trans, 3 antenna kits, 3 PE-75.
Article seems to say only one truck; its trailer was hit and destroyed, but 
truck station continued throughout
the encirclement.
Or is this already common knowledge  here, from the Green Books or other 
Scripture?
My father was in some kind of mobile repair unit supporting the infantry, 
under Patton's command,
at that time.
One of the best known radio collectors of the antique radio club in Seattle 
was Art Corbus. I learned he
had been in a tank recovery unit during this part of the war. I only heard 
him mention a couple sentences
about the times; wished I had tried to draw him out a little more on it.
