I am pretty certain this happened post war. It has never been clear to me when WIF came into existence exactly, but I did find some materials in the CofG/FGE files in Savannah, GA that indicated after

Ben Does the patch panel wrap around the ends? There's also a seam on the ends. I'll look at the article but I think this is harder than you make it sound! We're talking about a seam that has to be

Yes, Tim, that's what is was supposed to represent. But the less said about that model the better. It was so clumsy and inaccurate that it's almost impossible to fix it in a way that would meet
