[Milsurplus] Most dense electronics equipment

Heretofore when we discussed density in radios, the BC-312 was the putative
winner. But I want to present a new contestant. Last night, when I was 
digging in long, long neglected storage, I found this. A box about the size of a
workman's lunchbox, with a handle on top, and full of lead. Well, actually, it
is a NA-6 rectifier supply for the German KW.E.a  and LW.E.a receivers. ONE
receiver at a time. Honestly, trying to pick it up, bending over a large stack of
boxes in front  of it, I realized I could not do it, and in fact even trying was 
dangerous. How did the German engineers manage to eliminate that much 
non-metal space from inside this box? And it only supplies a 10-tube receiver
that takes less than 50 mA on the plate. Maybe they had discovered kryptonite?
