[Milsurplus] Merrill's Generator

[mac]

Robert,

Are you saying it's NOTa GN-44?  Ok on the connector ID thing but the  
generator in the pix is being cranked by Chinese troops and we gave  
SCR-288s to our Chinese and other allies during the War.  Believe the  
"PRC-1" reference in the picture caption to be in error.
