Part 4/8:
One standout artifact is a Target Designation Transmitter and Receiver, marked as Model 202 from 1942. Housed within a cargo container belonging to the U.S. Navy Bureau of Ordnance, it's a relic weighing over a thousand pounds. The speaker describes taking it apart a few years ago for cleaning and minor repairs, suggesting it may never have been used actively on a ship but remains a rare and valuable item. The detailed markings and historical context add to its allure, underlining the importance of preserving such equipment for historical study.
