[MRCA] My COL-52286 (T-47/ART-13) For Sale.

[Michael Hanz]

In addition to Jeep's description, I don't know of anywhere in the 
Signal Corps inventory that the TCZ was used.  It had that salt water 
Navy aroma, don'cha know. (running and ducking...)

In order for it to be used in an aircraft or ground vehicle it would 
have needed another pair of support plates underneath with appropriate 
rubber shock absorbers.  You can see the two ART-13 transmitters in the 
Enola Gay (one connected to the "liaison" antenna, the other to the 
"command" antenna) at 
https://aafradio.org/NASM/Enola_Avionics_Descriptions_-_Radio_Op.htm 
(showing that both have the standard MT-284/ART-13 shock mount with 
rubber pads separating the three levels of the mount.)  A better closeup 
of the MT-284 mount construction is at the top of 
https://aafradio.org/garajmahal/ART-13_mounts.html
