Herewith photo of mystery item i found recently. At time of rediscovering this item it was without tag. But i separately found a tag that fits and installed it. I hate to think that at one time in the past dark ages it seems i likely removed the nameplate with other plans for the thing. I may have already offered an ART relay last summer - i tend to forget some details of my hectic 'other life' up there in WA. Anyway this item is of no use to me and is available for postage. -H.

 




I tried to cover its use briefly at http://aafradio.org/countermeasures/ART-2.html , Hue.  It was mentioned in the 1946 NDRC compendium on Division 15 that covered WWII countermeasures technology efforts.  This somewhat arcane device was intended to be used when the ART-2 needed to be connected to the short wire HF antenna on carrier fighter aircraft, to jam Japanese tactical comms in the 21-50MHz band.  

If you have an AN/ART-2 jammer, then you absolutely need this to complete the set.  On the other hand, it still makes a beautiful antenna transfer relay from that era!
