MCR1 Receiver Spy Radio

Designed during the second half of the war, the “Biscuit” was a full-range, highly sensitive, super heterodyne receiver with 5 miniature tubes.

It was powered by a special battery, or with a separate power supply by AC/D.C. of 97 to 250 volts.

This receiver was delivered in a 2-pound “Huntley-Palmer” cookie tin which also contained 4 interchangeable coil units, 3 batteries or 2 batteries and a power supply pack, 30 feet of aerial wire and 10 feet of ground wire.

A battery provided an average of 30 hours’ reception time.

Four knobs on the same side controlled aerial adjustment, sensitivity, regeneration for telegraph reception, and the frequency dial.

Dimensions: 3˝ X 2 X 8˝ inches

Weight: About 2 pounds

Ten thousand of these sets were built and approximately half were widely distributed in the clandestine networks.
