Re: Подскажите по...
>В иностранных фильмах о боевых действиях на Западном фронте (1944-1945гг) очень часто мелькает в войсках США рация в виде большой некой радиотелефонной трубки. Подскажите, пожалуйста, а что это за рация? Где можно о ней почитать информацию (на русском очень желательно)?
Так называемая "уоки-токи", FM радиопередатчик, работающий на лампах и батарейках. Вот нашёл в Википедии
he first radio receiver/transmitter to be nick-named "Walkie-Talkie" was the backpacked Motorola SCR-300, created by an engineering team in 1940 at the Galvin Manufacturing Company (fore-runner of Motorola). The team consisted of Dan Noble, who conceived of the design using frequency modulation, Henryk Magnuski who was the principal RF engineer, Marion Bond, Lloyd Morris, and Bill Vogel.
Motorola also produced the hand-held AM SCR-536 radio during World War II, and it was called the "Handie-Talkie" (HT). The terms are often confused today, but the original walkie talkie referred to the back mounted model, while the handie talkie was the device which could be held entirely in the hand (but had vastly reduced performance). Both devices ran on vacuum tubes and used high voltage dry cell batteries. (Handie-Talkie became a trademark of Motorola, Inc. on May 22, 1951. The application was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office,and the trademark registration number is 71560123. )
