[MRCA] FW: WWII GN 43-44-45 Crosley Field Telephone...Addendum

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Actually, the original hand crank generator used with SCR-694-AW was GN-53 
or GN-53-AW (only difference is color). The production model, SCR-694-C, 
originally shipped with GN-57.  GN-58 came with later SCR-694-C Orders and 
probably with first two AN/GRC-9 orders.  The bulk of AN/GRC-9 Orders shipped 
with GN-58-A.  In the late 50's the front cover was redesigned (appears on 
most Depot overhauled RT-77A's) and the G-43/G appeared.  Pack and vehicular 
variants were designated AN/VRC-34 and AN/GRC-87.  Final replacement Orders 
were for G-43A/G.
