Tom,

Thanks for the listing of subcontractors.

I didn't realize they were built in 1951, I thought they were made in
the Later Nineteen Fiftys.

The R-390's I saw I don't think had the 2 handles on them. that is what
I meant when I said the weren't in the URR style case.

I might be wrong since it's been 50 years since I've been in a Ships
Radio Room.
