The Yanks had various Australian made equipment issued, wireless sets and even radar sets . An article in EA magazine explained how the Aust. built radar sets performed better than the contemporary US sets. The yanks did catch quickly though.
I had a AWA built transmitter with "US signal corps" etched into the front panel . AWA had placed a little panel over the US SC writing, the panel read AWA WS made in Australia .AWA also made copies of the classic HRO receiver for the US army, a guy in California has one of these, he was looking for a manual. I have a Cash horizontal milling machine, made in Richmond, Melbourne . These were initially made for the USAAC during WW2. Another Cash owner has researched all this.
