Ms Stone: I was a Radar Operator with the 12Defense Bn., USMC, in WWII. We used two radars. One was a SCR-268, assembled by Western Electric and was a short range radar, 22 miles, and used as a gun director. The other, SCR-270, assembled by Westinghouse, was a search radar and had a range of 120 miles. At times the range would exceed this if the conditions were good. Regards. Vic B.
