[RadioSvit]

Hello everyone. After a short break, I continue to show exhibits from my collection...
Mega rare stationary radio receiver for long-distance reception from Great Britain, - the famous "tank" model Three Mains of the English company McMichael, a manufacturer of high-quality radio receivers, televisions and military equipment. Yes, it was McMichael who was the author of the concept of military direction finding and the first samples of radar stations created before the Second World War.
This receiver is a regenerator with a high-frequency amplifier, was distinguished by extremely high sensitivity and noise immunity and therefore was often used to receive radio stations in adverse conditions, for example as a broadcasting radio receiver in compartment cars of trans-European express trains. He was a pioneer among European radio in the use of the now familiar type of rectangular scale with backlight and an arrow indicating the frequency of stations. It also differed from its competitors in its heavy weight with small dimensions - 18 kg and a massive cast (!) chassis, which is why it was called "Tank"...
According to legend, this copy was used as a broadcasting radio receiver in the legendary "Orient Express" London - Istanbul in the early 30s. Can this be true? I do not claim, but I assume. In particular, about 10 years ago I came across such information on one of the English sites, which unfortunately no longer exists. Does it exist, but I cannot find it? If anyone has such information, I will be very grateful if you share it with me.
PS. The receiver is used not with the native speaker system, but with a broadcasting column of the German company Loewe model E.B. 71, manufactured in 1925.
