Early B-52 Panel - What is the T-18 System?

Thu Feb 20, 2020 4:16 pm

A good friend is building out an early B-52 instrument panel and needs two "T-18 System" modules that were installed on the lower left, see photos. They were used in B-52's B thru F (pre-Arc light).

1) Does anyone know what the function of the T-18 System was?

2) Does anyone have a part number for this bugger?

3) Anyone know where to find any?

Thanks in advance!
