  I met a collector of military items who says he has a 'Lucy' (sp) radio. I first thought of the Peanuts comics. No, he said, it is supposed to be a spy radio. He suggested it was small (gesturing with his hands what I guess would be toaster sized).

  I have not seen this radio - yet. After ingesting a few grains of salt I did some internet research. I found information about a WWII spy ring in Switzerland that was known by the name 'Lucy' that used radios to communicate. Links I used follow;

  So I ask you military folk is there a 'Lucy' radio or is that a generic name for a group of radios? If so, are there any photos of one (or more) or additional information? I may not have found the right link yet. TIA.
