The B&W model B turret was apparently made before WWII. It has a multi-deck 4 
position switch in a mount surrounded on 3 sides with coil jack bars for B&W 
Bxx coils. This setup gives you both band switching and plug-in coils. I guess 
the idea is that coils for your 3 most-used bands could stay in the turret. So 
coil changing to switch bands is kept to a minimum. I think the B turret must 
be rated 100-150 watts. 

If anyone has an original brochure on the B turret or pages from a B&W catalog 
that could be copied, I'd like to see that. Alternatively, if anyone has seen 
any published construction articles that use this assembly, that would be very 
interesting too. All I have now is the listing and photo in an old Radio Supply 
catalog.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
