Thanks indeed to all who chimed in with information. I learned some things !
Now another question: some RCA forms I have are full-page length. They have the similar red RCA graphics at top,
but the title line sez "Press Message". If the radio op took down the news over the air, did this page then go to the
captain, or what? One solitary page is not enough for the whole ship's compliment; it's not like a ship's newspaper.
On my two Atlantic crossings, I was young, but I don't recall any sort of "ship's newspaper". We were in limbo as far
as news, unless the radio operator piped the BBC into the lounge during the day.
