[Milsurplus] Let's ask A.I. !

[Brenda Gentry]

Were TCS rigs ever used in aircraft, or backpacked ashore where light 
weight would be welcome?  On a PT boat a non-magnetic cabinet might 
reduce interference with the magnetic compass, but the three V-12 
Packard engines would probably have a thousand times the influence on 
the compass. The AI answer is almost comical if it were not for some  
people believing it.
