[Milsurplus] TBX,TBW, RBM

[Rob Flory]

Someone asked about the TBW as beachmaster rig.  No, TBX was used for that
function.  TBW too cumbersome to be used where the bullets are flying.  It
is more suited to the post-landing but still living in tents phase.

USS MASSACHUSETTS had an RBM, stand alone, in the inventory of flag
officer's gear, I believe that was for reception of Fox broadcasts while
the flag unit was ashore.

Whatever the lineage of the TBX was, it went through the 1935 TBO.
