BC - 610 The BC - 610 was a radio transmitter used by the U . S . Army Signal Corps during World War II . History . In the early 1940s , the U . S . military sought a high - powered radio transmitter capable of infallible voice communications over 100 miles ( 160 km ) , sturdy enough to work in all conditions , flexible enough to be able to cover a wide range of frequencies , self - powered and able to operate in motion or at fixed locations . The Hallicrafters HT - 4 transmitter was chosen from units available from various U . S . radio manufacturers . The HT - 4 was designed for amateur radio use and had been commercially available for several years at a price of approximately $ 700 , rivaling the cost of a car . It was considered compact and stable for its era and could deliver 325 watts of power for voice communications and 450 watts during Morse code operation . It was quartz crystal controlled , but could be used over a wide range of frequencies through use of the master - oscillator power amplifier . Modifications requested by the Signal Corps ' were performed by Hallicrafters ' engineers working with U . S . Army technicians at Fort Monmouth . They made a new version of the HT - 4 , which was known as the BC - 610 transmitter , a part of the SCR - 299 mobile communications unit , and production began in 1942 . General Dwight Eisenhower credited the SCR - 299 in the reorganization of U . S . forces , which led to their victory against the Nazi s at Kasserine Pass . The SCR - 299 was also used in the Invasion of Sicily and later , Italy . Over 25 , 000 units were produced by Hallicrafters and other allied companies . In 1944 , a short subject film was produced by the Jam Handy Organization and sponsored by the Hallicrafters Company detailing how the HT - 4 transmitter was adapted for military service and dramatizing its use by the U . S . military during World War II . Specifications . The " A " through " I " models are the same basic unit with relatively minor component and cosmetic differences .

Castello Ursino Castello Ursino is a castle in Catania , Sicily , southern Italy . History . Castle Ursino was built , circa from 1239 to 1250 , as one of the royal castles of Emperor Frederick II , King of Sicily , closing a chapter on the turbulent time in Sicily that followed the death of his predessor , William II . Local lords had attempted to assert independence , and in 1220 Frederick II had ordered the destruction of all non - royal castles in Sicily . Castle Ursino was built to stress royal power as well as for the defence of the capital , and was considered impregnable at the time . In 1295 , during the Sicilian Vespers , the Parliament which declared deposed James II of Aragon as King of Sicily , replacing him with Frederick III , was held here . The following year it was captured by Robert of Anjou but was later again in Aragonese hands . King Frederick III resided in the castle , as well as his successors Peter II , Louis , Frederick IV and Maria . Here the latter was kidnapped by Guglielmo Raimondo III Moncada to avoid her marriage with Gian Galeazzo Visconti ( 1392 ) . King Martin I held also his court in the castle . After the move of the capital away from Catania and the appearance of powder weapons , the castle lost its military role and was used as a prison . It is one of the few buildings in Catania to have survived the earthquake of 1693 . The castle has a rectangular plan , with a large circular tower at each corner and an open - air inner courtyard . When the castle was first built , it was on a cliff looking out to sea , however as the result of volcanic eruptions , and earthquakes , it is now a kilometre inland . The former moat too in the 17th century was filled with lava from an eruption by Mount Etna . Its present location , surrounded by streets and shops in a typical Catania piazza , may strike some visitors as unusual . Today the castle houses the Catania Civico Museum and a gallery of local art . On display in the museum are artifacts and artwork from the castle as well as the greater geographical area . These items date from the Classical era onward , representing the diverse influences throughout Sicilian history .
