[Milsurplus] BC-326A switchbox

[Robert Downs]

I assumed that the reason Hue wrote his post as he did (repeating BC-326A
without the second hyphen) is that the vendor made an error in the
nomenclature.  According to the Signal Corps's nomenclature standards, it
should have been BC-326-A.  The AN system, on the other hand, calls for no
character between the last digit of the nomenclature and any suffix letter.
So R-23A/ARC-5 is correct.

I have a batch of NOS generator legs that are all stamped LG-2A instead of
LG-2-A.  Plus to compound the error, although the LG-2-A were supposed to be
made of aluminum, these got made out of steel just like the original LG-2's.
So if you were someone sending a shipment of legs somewhere, you wouldn't
know which weight to use.  I always thought this was the reason that most
aluminum ones are marked LG-2-B, to correct the error.  Later. All of the
steel LG-2A's got marked for MAAP (giveaway).

Only the series resistor inside.  The BC-326A model is for 28vdc, the 
BC-326 is for 14vdc.
