Switch Question :
I took apart that old TE below, a strange kind of RF gen., from the (60's looks like, though it's solid state inside somehow.
I salvaged all the switches from output step attenuator.
They look like beefy things, that would normally switch big mains loads but... since they are used to switch delicate RF signal, I fear they must be specialized in conveying RF signals, and are not capable, despite they big size, of safely switching mains with a high current ?
There is no part number on them so I can't pull a datasheet for them. Only marking on them is at the back, it reads " KAY " , which appears to be the name of the manufacturer of that TE, if I believe the front panel of the instrument, located in Pine Brook New Jersey, US of A.

Try a carrier in the midst of the Pacific

An aircraft carrier has lights and a smooth deck, and an ATC tower. "An random field" doesn't.

The random field's threshold height isn't varying second by second.
As the old old joke puts it "The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and, a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life where you get to experience all three at the same time"
