In my last video on the 'Gibson Girl', survival radio I went over the basic design, controls, and accessories of the WWII-era SCR-578 model.In this follow-up video, I peer beneath the case of the SCR-578 and the post-war AN/CRT-3 variant to reveal the ingenious engineering behind these classic pieces of emergency signalling gear.
A huge thanks to Julian Horn for his invaluable assistance with this video.
