[TowerTalk] Help with identifying a Hy-Gain beam

[Roger (K8RI)]

Folks:
Here is a photo on the Net, Labeled as a TH-5

Looks pretty darn close to the Unknown:

It's like mine.  Only one element without traps and the rest have 4 each.
He's describing one that has two elements without traps and one element with 
just two traps.
I'd guess the one with 2 traps is the 20 and 15 meter reflector while one of 
the elements without a trap is the 10 meter reflector and the other is a 
director for 10.  That would give 3 elements on 20 and 15 with 4 on 10.
