    The BC-14A Trench Crystal receiver was manufactured for the U.S. Army Signal Corps by de ForestLiberty Electric, Wireless Specialty Apparatus, General Radio, and Marconi Wireless.

    It was part of the SCR-54A artillery spotter outfit. These crystal radios were used to communicate in the WWI trenches by morse code from airplanes using spark transmitters.

    • 4 DC-1 crystals (3 as spares)
    • 3 M-14 crystal springs (2 as spares)
