[Richard.McClung@Dielectric.spx.com]

B&W was the primary contractor for many AN/GRC-26C's which used R-388's
They also buit many AN/GRC26A, B, and D's also..........

Tom & Sandy,
I have an R-388 that was manufactured by Collins and tagged as
such. However, the original 1950 pre-TM manual that came with it
was published by Barker and Williamson. I haven't seen a B&W tag on
an R-388, but I've only seen a dozen or so R-388's in the flesh.
Perhaps someone like Howard Mills has come across one, if they
exist. Or, B&W may have just been the contractor of the manual.
