John Schroeder Murph is marked for the 294th JASCO...Joint Assault Signal Company, joint USN/Army communications group tasked with establishing communications between Navy/Army in amphibious assaults. Huge challenge because everyone was working on different frequencies. The 294th was attached to the 5th Engineer Special Brigade: The 5th Engineer Special Brigade was a U.S. Army amphibious engineer unit active during World War II, redesignated from the 1119th Engineer Combat Group in November 1943 and tasked with clearing beach obstacles and building roads on Omaha Beach during the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. I wanted a "wade flag"...and wanted to honor Omaha....and Murph was Signal Corps because there are RL-31 reel brackets in the back.....so....294th JASCO fit the bill well.

Robert Lukes 😜 Pretty sure you misheard?😍.....

Robert Lukes Thank you for the very kind offer - may take you up on it. I need to figure out exactly what else I need.....Ty!

Robert Holloway Holder Yes sir...miss that joint! We used to hang out at the Yellow Rose too....where George Strait and Merle Haggard would be the dance band....great memories.

Steven Briola Sorry I missed this earlier Steve - was off to the MVPA Convention. Did you pack those bearings well when you installed them? Let's chat through this on a Friday Office Hours.

Robert Holloway Holder We can't get that non al-key-haul gas here in the People's Republic of NJ😳

Luke Jones That is a great tool to have and would do a perfect job Luke. I have had several opportunities to pick one up... a little tight in the shop. 😎

Andrew Lang Funny you should ask....it is cleaned and ready for reassembly....so yes!

Thank you sir! Intermittent fuel pump is a real head scratcher....hard to diagnose that one. The glass bowl is a great idea. We usually have one in the shop for that purpose..... switch them back out after things are working to keep the rivet counters at bay! 😀 

No sir. The People's Republic of NJ doesn't allow the sale. There is a place up near Port Jervis...about 30 miles away....I should get gas there...but.....Maybe we need to purchase a WW2 CCKW gasoline tanker! That's the ticket!
