Model TBN-2 Radio Transmitting Equipment (Contractor: Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company)
Abstract
The tests herein reported were conducted to determine the degree of compliance of the Model TBN-2 transmitting equipment (preliminary model) with the mechanical and electrical requirements. A number of changes, modifications, and corrections are indicated in order to provide greater safety factors, improve operation of the equipment and to effect greater ease in handling by the operating personnel. The fact that the equipment successfully withstood extensive tests over a period of several months wherein it was subjected to the difficult conditions encountered on board Naval vessels, as nearly as Laboratory conditions would permit, including numerous overload tests, locked key operation at full power for periods as long as eight hours, severe vibration, shock and the motion designed to simulate the rolling of a vessel, variations in temperature from zero to 50 deg C, conditions of high humidity wherein the equipment was actually saturated for several hours, indicates that the apparatus is well designed, well constructed, and possesses liberal safety factors which should insure reliable operation in the Naval Service.
