either a model 15 or 20. The Goxhill tower was built in 1940 for the RAF
then transferred to the USAAF (US Army Air Force) in 1942.

The Army Signal Corps did not get the same respect from historians as did
the pilots and their aircraft, so researching this is other than easy 

Can you provide any assistance in identifying this equipment? If not could
you point me towards that information? 

Regards 

Don

reconstructing it at the museum. 
 
The
museum team is dedicated to authenticity and detail. One of its =
objectives is
to equip the tower with communications equipment. 
 
So we
are looking to identify that equipment necessary to communicate with =
planes as
well as with other ground units. We are looking for any and all =
information
related to the communications equipment installed at these watch towers =
down to
headsets and microphones.<o:p></o:p>

<p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 face=3DArial><span =

From what I have been able to find so it appears that =
they
would have used either a model 15 or 20. The Goxhill tower was built in =
1940
for the RAF then transferred to the USAAF (US Army Air Force) in =
1942.<o:p></o:p>
