he is a radio tuner i recently came across. Its US made for the airministry and has both TR9 and bendix selections. To my knowledge the TR9 was out of use by 1941 and as far as i am aware used a manual tuning control. It occured that it might be to allow comunication between the TR9 and later 1133 sets/5043 any ideas graetfully received.

Only in Fighter Command, various types of TR9s were still the R/T of choice in other Commands until about 1944.
