[Milsurplus] TCS for marine use

[Bill Carns]

Interesting Hue..  All I have info on is the original intent of the TCH specification including the various man pack kind of grinder and battery pack power supplies.  Collins offered a range of power supply options.  I would love to have copies of those references or photos, and any other info that folks can muster up.  There is very little here in our archives about actual application.

The only definite uses of the TCH that i have come across was for Torpedo Recovery Whaleboat in Washington state, and for Royal Army of the U.K., 

where it appears in a photo from the North Africa war.

>>Collins TCS was indeed designed from the ground up to meet the Navy TCS specification and never saw commercial sales prior to the war.>.>

It did share some construction and design features with the much more rare, and earlier, Collins 18M “Expedition” Transmitter Receiver combined set that Art introduced in 1939 - and that quickly became the TCH for early clandestine landing for the Navy and the Marines.
