HI Dave,
Awesome detective work, thanks! I am not familiar with that publication but I think your conclusion is right- it never entered service.
I would be really curious to learn if the Museum knows the provenance of their example or the doner. (I hope the unit I have wasn't stolen from a museum).
I would really like to think this was a Navy project. I've got some ideas about application that I will explore later.
Thanks again for the research!
Kevin
