[BC] Here's something

[Chuck Lakaytis]

Back in the early 60's I cared for several Western Electric T-409 HF ISB 
4 KW transmitters.  They were used mainly as drivers for our 50 KW 
Collins transmitters.  Every element of every tube in the T-409 was 
metered for voltage and current.  The Rolls Royce of transmitters.  They 
were also used in the Trans Atlantic radio service for commercial 
radiotelephone service.
