Subject: [Milsurplus] WWII Aircraft Sets Installed In Boats.

For those who asked for the documentation on
SCR-287, -274, -522 etc. installed in Rescue boats
in the Pacific (these guys near New Guinea).

Excerpt:
----------
     It was obvious to everyone that Lt. Sanders was loaded with everything
     his crew could possibly handle, but it was not until he submitted this
     list of completed installations that we realized the real size of his
     project:  In nine boats they installed 18 ea SCR-287 Liaison Sets; 
9 ea
     Radio Compass, SCR 269G, 9 ea Radio Sets, SCR-522 (VHF), 9 ea Command
     sets, SCR-274N, 9 ea Radio Sets, SCR-695 (IFF), 9 ea Radio Sets 
SCR-578
     (Emergency 500 KC Transmitter), 5 ea Power Plant, C-10, 1 ea Power 
Plant
     PE-143.  If the reader knows as much about radio as the writer he will
     probably look blank and say quietly "Well, Well."
----------
I think the "18 SCR-287" in 9 boats is likely a mis-count based
on the "two part" (-375. -348) set?  Two -287s would take a
lot of room.

Anyone have insights into "Power Plant, C-10"
and "Power Plant PE-143"?
