Groups,

Collins built the majority of TCS models but four other contractors built 
one or two each.  For at least the external screws, Collins always used 
phillips head screws.  Air King, who built TCS-14 (and -15 post war) used slotted 
heads.  The other three are:

TCS-6  Hazeltine
TCS-8  Stewart-Warner
TCS-13  Hamilton

Although I have or probably have examples of some of these, they are all 
except my TCS-14 and a couple of Collins built parts units over in Storage and 
not quickly accessible at the moment.  If any of you have either a receiver 
or a transmitter with a nameplate showing any of those three models, please 
tell me which type screw heads were used on the front panels.
