[R-390] Connector pictures

[dog]

That connector is a bear to replace.

My dad worked on the Nike Ajax system after being an artillery officer 
in the war in Germany. I remember living in El Paso, must have been 
about 1950 or so. He worked at White Sands. I think I went to first 
grade in El Paso. I only found out about this much later, he never would 
talk about what he did.
