[Milsurplus] TBX-8 Rainshield

[Hubert Miller]

I compared two editions of the 'TBX-8 Preliminary Instruction Book' contracts

NXsr-38500  22 Apr 1945

NXsr-69224  15 Mar 1945



The second one shows the clear plastic bib, 'rainshield' but it does not as far as

i see, show up in the components list. The rainshield is not seen in any photo in

the earlier manual. Seems to me this much sought after accessory was only

maybe supplied with the very last TBX production, and not any earlier models

including of the TBX-8. I have owned about ten TBX's, only one set, unused in

trunk, had the rainshield.
