   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.
