Occasionally we build a product and it never makes it into production. The name tag on this unit says UNIT 1
A
OF AN/ARC-13 (XN-1) NX

This radio was a UHF COMM Transmitter/Receiver complete with a GUARD channel targeted for U.S. Navy aircraft.
The RECEIVER window shows the number 100, the EXCITER window is centered on 110, the INT.AMP. shows 320-220-110, TRANS. indicates 120 and ANTENNA is set on 70.
It has 5 Autotune knobs and what looks like a 6-position preset switch on the left.

Arthur Collins moving the first soil in a ground breaking ceremony at the new Engineering Building during the winter of 1953. The facility was completed and occupied in 1954 and was named Building-120.
We have that shovel in one of our Museum back rooms. It was later engraved with the details of the event.

Office Staff: Circa 1934-35
Contributed by Larry on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 - 01:40:27 PM
Nicely composed photo of eight Collins Radio Co. office workers - notice the immaculately clean desks.
This editor is guessing that we are on the ground floor of the southeast ell of the Metropolitan Building. The morning (10:30) sun is shinning into the windows at the far (south) end of the room.
We see a lot of short-sleeved blouses - it must be Summer.
Left to Right: Katherine Horsfall, Frances Power, Park Rinard, Irene Snyder, Faye Dunn, Betty Davis, Lucille Dotson, and Marjorie James.

A.A. Collins: June 1944
Contributed by Larry on Thursday, February 2, 2017 - 10:15:10 PM
Arthur Collins reviews a design Engineer’s data - probably in that person’s office located in building-137 (Main Plant).
The building is only a couple of years-old and the walls still look pristine!
