[R-390] History of SP-600

[Kenneth Crips]

Rather then write up a history of the SP-600 why not expand it
to include the whole Hammarlund Super Pro series, SP-200, SP-400,
and SP-600.  There has been fair amount written about the SP-600's,
JX-1 through JX-26. Very little has been written about the the other
two models.  I have a SP-600 JX-17 made in 1953.  I sincerely
hope the engineer that designed the band switch on the SP600 is still
alive I would love to ask him the question; Why in God name did you
design it like that?  Of course this is the fun of technological
history studies, getting inside the heads of such people to find out
these questions.
