Signal Corps Radio
Signal Corps Radios were U.S. Army military communications components that comprised "sets". Under the Army Nomenclature System, the abbreviation SCR initially designated "Set, Complete Radio", but was later misinterpreted as "Signal Corps Radio." Nomenclature The term SCR was part of a nomenclature system developed for the U.S. Signal Corps, used at least as far back as World War I World War I or the First World War (28 July 1914 – 11 November 1918), also known as the Great War, was a World war, global conflict between two coalitions: the Allies of World War I, Allies (or Entente) and the Central Powers. Fighting to .... Three-letter designators beginning with "SC" were used to denote complete systems, while one and two-letter designators (such as "BC", for basic component, "FT" for mounting, etc.) were used for components. Only a few system designators were used: :::SCM Set, Complete, Meteorological :::SCR Set, Complete, Radio :::SCS Set, Complete, System S ...

SCR-105
The Stellarator of Costa Rica 1 (or SCR-1) is a small modular stellarator for the magnetic confinement of plasma located at Cartago, Costa Rica. It is developed by the plasmaTEC group of the Plasma Laboratory for Fusion Energy and Applications at Costa Rica Institute of Technology. It began operation as Latin America's first stellarator on 29 June 2016. SCR-1 is of a compact design and has the distinction of having the smallest aspect ratio of any operating stellarator device (>4.4). Its design is influenced by the small Spanish stellarator UST-1. History In 2010, SCR-1 was originally proposed to be much bigger in size (major radius of 460.33 mm, plasma radius of 42.2 mm) and scale (aspect ratio of 5.7, magnetic field of 0.0878 Tesla Tesla most commonly refers to: * Nikola Tesla (1856–1943), a Serbian-American electrical engineer and inventor * Tesla, Inc., an American electric vehicle and clean energy company, formerly Tesla Motors, Inc. * Tesla (unit) (symbol: ...

SCR-50
The Radio tractor was a mobile Signal Corps Radio used by the U.S. Army for ground communications before and during World War I. Prior to World War I, trucks were referred to as "tractors", and there were also telegraph tractors, and telephone tractors. Use Very little information exists for these trucks, as most of the components were built before standardization. They first made their debut on the Mexican border in a radio intercept role, and later during World War I, some sets may have been reconfigured for RDF and other uses. Components * SCR-50, 2 kilowatt spark transmitter, crystal or vacuum tube detector receiver, 0.15-0.50 Megahertz Variants At least 3 variants are known: * Radio Tractor No. 1 * Radio Tractor No. 2 (Four Wheel Drive)(Jeffery Quad), Unknown radio set * Radio Tractor No. 3 (White Motor Company), SCR-50 radio set The No.3 truck was also accompanied by a tender "Maintenance truck No. 5" later renumbered as K-5.

SCR-694
The SCR-694 is a portable high frequency two way radio set that was used by the U.S. military during World War II. The SCR-694 provides transmission and reception of AM radiotelephony and MCW or CW radiotelegraphy within the frequency range of 3.800 to 6.500 MHz. The radio set consists of the BC-1306 receiver and transmitter along with ancillary equipment, not all of which was required in every signal mission. History The SCR-694 began to replace the SCR-284 from mid 1944, with improved range and reduced weight (around half of its predecessor), though the latter continued to be used up until the end of the war. Designed to provide communication between moving or stationary vehicles or as a portable field radio set, the SCR-694 was originally intended for use by mountain troops and airborne forces but soon became the Army-wide standard at battalion level. The SCR-694 saw use all over the army in many different theaters; notable instances include at regimental division headqua ...

SCR-300
The SCR-300, designated AN/VRC-3 under the Joint Electronics Type Designation System, was a portable frequency modulated (FM) radio transceiver used by US Signal Corps in World War II. This backpack-mounted unit was the first radio to be nicknamed a " walkie talkie". History In 1940, Motorola (then the Galvin Manufacturing Company) received a contract from the War Department to develop a portable, battery powered voice radio receiver/transmitter for field use by infantry units. The project engineering team consisted of Daniel E. Noble, who conceived of the design using frequency modulation, Henryk Magnuski who was the principal RF engineer, Marion Bond, Lloyd Morris, and Bill Vogel. The SCR-300 operated in the 40.0 to 48.0 MHz (megahertz) frequency range, and was channelized. Along with other mobile FM tank and artillery radios such as the SCR-508 (20.0 to 27.9 MHz) and the SCR-608 (27.0 to 38.9 MHz), the SCR-300 marked the beginning of the transition of combat-net ra ...

SCR-284
The SCR-284 was a World War II era combination radio transmitter, transmitter and radio receiver, receiver used in vehicles or fixed ground stations. History The Crosley Corporation of Cincinnati, Ohio manufactured the Signal Corps Set, Complete, Radio, 284 (SCR-284) that consists of the Basic Component 654 (BC-654) and associated support equipment. The SCR-284 was introduced in Africa during Operation Torch and was the first radio set used for communications from the beach to the U.S. Fleet to coordinate naval gunfire and beach radio networks.The American GI in Europe in World War II: The March to D-Day'. Stackpole Books; 22 September 2009. . p. 51–. The set was used by Merrill's Marauders while operating in the South-East Asian theatre of World War II, China-Burma-India Theater and missions behind Japanese lines in Burma to communicate with air transport and other military aircraft, although some radiomen complained that it was "very inefficient" compared to other radio s ...
