[TowerTalk] Cinch-Jones Sub.

[Ken Hirschberg]

Greg and all,
As some senior members may recall, during the 40's through the late 50's, Jones
plugs were used for power (12V) plus mic., spkr., vibrator power supply, etc.,
on aircraft radios.  They were quite reliable; probably the most reliable part
of the system!
Happy holidays to all.
73, Ken
