The "official" aircraft inverter for the GO-9 was the 800-1.  See 
https://aafradio.org/flightdeck/go9.html for the details.  The Navy 
would never use a Signal Corps inverter for its equipment.  It might get 
Army cooties.  🙂

Just teasing, of course.  The Signal Corps *did* provide a PU-43-A 
version of the Navy standard mentioned above, but the one I had appeared 
to be simply a label switch on the same inverter that the Navy used.

The  The supply had various values of switched capacitors to match the dynamotor, which I believe was a PE-103A or a PE-3 for the GO, just not sure of the designator. For the TBW it was a gas powered 800HZ 120VAC.  The TBW was normally supplied in 3 water-tight cases, the GO is not, each section connects to the others.
