and weight limited its installation to the larger ships and shore station=
s.

the tuned-radio-frequency type, and the models RAO, RBB, RBC, and RBS of
the superheterodyne type were procured in large numbers....

Gee, I have been laboring under the illusion that the RBB and RBC were th=
e
heavyweights.  =
