Hallicrafters, essentially an HT-4 ruggedized.
Film at: http://www.archive.org/details/VoiceofV1944 There are two
parts.

The main contributions from Collins in WW2 were the ARC-2 and ART-13.
The ART-13 covered LF and HF, PA an 813 modulated by a pair of 811. It
had ten mechanical presets that could be anywhere in its range.
