[Milsurplus] B-36 Radio Operator's Position

[antqradio at sbcglobal.net]

Interesting, perhaps this aircraft is just one big storage locker?
Standard Aircraft Characteristics for the B-36J does not list either the ART-13 or BC-348 under electronic equipment.  See: 
http://www.alternatewars.com/SAC/B-36J_Peacemaker_SAC_-_15_June_1954.pdf

The ARC-21 is listed as the Liaison Radio and both the remote control and the RT unit for the ARC-21 can be seen in the panoramic photos.  
R/T unit is here: http://www.nmusafvirtualtour.com/media/062/B-36J%20Tail%20Turret.html Straight ahead, down the tunnel on the right, the R/T barrel can just be seen as a silver arc with one of the three handles showing.
Control unit is in the panel just to the right of the BC-348.Jim

http://www.nmusafvirtualtour. com/media/062/B-36J%20Radio% 20Operator.html Seems a strange way to orient the BC-348.   Did the shelf swing for ease of operation?
