[R-390] Use of PP Rig, Was: Photos of Preproduction R-390

Danny,

Based on your post of the stencil contents, I'm thinking one use of this rig
would be to send to Motorola for assistance in building their sets.

I recall a story when GM was building airplanes for the war, and the Navy sent
them a Grumman example along with the drawings.  TBM I believe.
