I happened to be sorting paper again and in checking copies I have against the www.americanradiohistory.com 
site, I saw in the ‘Communication and Broadcast Engineering’ magazine for Oct. 1934, page 10, shows “ninety
Silvania intermediate-frequency receivers recently delivered to and accepted by Army officials. Each receiver is
designed to cover the three Army communications service bands between 100 and 1000 kilocycles...in the case
of CW, the receiver is designed for an extremely sharp cutoff, so that only a 1000-cycle width of signal is 
admitted to the loudspeaker”.  
Looks like it has a separate PS. 
I only know of one existing, in poor condition, near Seattle area. It is a TRF receiver. Kind of surprising the Army
using LF communications networks also. 
This page is available on the site above.
