[Milsurplus] Speaking of BC-348s

[Jack Antonio]

This recent BC-348 thread got me wondering,

Are there any civilian documents concerning the design of
this receiver? I'm thinking of internal RCA documents,
professional (e.g. IEEE) magazine articles, that sort of
thing?

Also, are there any names attached to the design
and redesign of the BC-224/348 family?  For
example, who was the lead engineer for the project,
either civilian or military?

And lastly. Given the fact that the RCA designed ARB
receiver was associated with a civilian design,  was there
a similar civilian design associated with the BC-348 family?

Just curious.
