Wireless of the Week - week 25

Interesting set, I've never heard of it either. I wonder if it was another "one hit wonder" like the Vancouver Radio Laboratories model 250. The gov. was known to throw a bone to various companies to keep people employed and to produce a Canadian item.

Interesting set. At first glance it looks a bit like some Radio Direction Finding gear that was around throughout the war, but if that was the case, it should probably have an 'R.D.F.' identifier.

The manual shows a 1944 date, later in the war. Years ago I read a book from the local library on the development of radar equipment during the war, and this really seems to have accelerated towards the end of the war, particularly counter radar measures. I remember a term used being "radar propagation analysis" but cannot for the life of me recall the context in which it was explained. Could this be a piece of equipment related to that type of work?
