While roaming the aisles at a recent gun show, I happened upon an Olive Drab 
box sitting on one of the tables.  Although it took a minute to figure out 
it was a transmitter, I was intrigued by the history of it.

The unit is a T-14J/TRC-1-GY,  Serial Number 813.  It had a typical MFR name 
plate but the verbiage is what caught my interest.  It was apparently 
manufactured in West Berlin, just after WW-2 by a German firm for use by the 
Signal Corps and perhaps other occupation troops.
