Abstract :
The lightest and most compact hand radio transmitter-receiver, smaller than a loaf of bread, developed by the Raytheon Manufacturing Company, Waltham, Mass., with the Signal Corps Engineering Laboratories in 1948, is the first communications equipment to utilize tiny subminiature tubes on a mass production basis. It is a complete one-package transmitter, receiver, battery power-source, and antenna, designed for a specific, highly essential purpose: to link front-line troops with other men and other units.
