SCR - 300 The SCR - 300 was a portable radio transceiver used by US Signal Corps in World War II . This backpack - mounted unit was the first two way radio to be nicknamed a " walkie talkie " . History . In 1940 , Motorola ( then the Galvin Manufacturing Company ) received a contract from the War Department to develop a portable , battery powered voice radio receiver / transmitter for field use by infantry units . The project engineering team consisted of Daniel E . Noble , who conceived of the design using frequency modulation , Henryk Magnuski who was the principal RF engineer , Marion Bond , Lloyd Morris , and Bill Vogel . The final acceptance tests took place at Fort Knox , Kentucky . The performance of the SCR - 300 during those tests demonstrated its capacity to communicate through interference and the rugged quality of the design . Motorola was to produce nearly 50 , 000 of the SCR - 300 units during the course of the war . The British adopted the design of the SCR - 300 for their own use from 1947 as the " Wireless Set No . 31 " .

Blohm & Voss BV 246 The Blohm & Voss BV 246 " Hagelkorn " ( German language : " Hailstone " ) was a guided glide bomb developed to bomb specific targets ( bridges , ships , etc . ) once it was released . History . This glider was designed by Dr . Richard Vogt , at first under the designation of BV 226 , which was later changed to its definitive designation BV 246 on December 12 , 1943 . It was intended to be dropped from a Ju 88 or a Heinkel He 111 bomber , either of which could carry three of the weapons , and was to be dropped from a height of at a speed of , giving it a range of up to . In a slight dive the Bv 226 could reach a speed of . The construction of the BV 246 was very simple , so it could be mass - produced . It had clean aerodynamics , with high aspect ratio wings that made possible a glide ratio of 25 : 1 . The wings were made of concrete , cast around a steel core . It had a cruciform tail in an early version and a double vertical tail mounted on the sides of a wide horizontal stabilizer in a later version . It had a length of and a wingspan of . Its total weight was , of which was the explosive warhead . Initial tests revealed that the basic design was workable , but that the weapon was very inaccurate and because of this it was rejected . However , work was restarted in 1943 , with 11 different versions being planned , due to its simple and inexpensive construction , and the new development contract was awarded to the Karlshagen test centre . A series of tests was begun to improve the weapon ' s accuracy , with air drops performed by KG 101 . Despite unpromising results , the Ministry of Aviation nevertheless issued the order to commence mass production on 12 December 1943 . In February 1944 the contract was cancelled due to the success of the V - 1 flying bomb . The weapon was revived a further time , in early 1945 , as an early form of anti - radiation missile , using the " Radieschen " passive seeker which was designed to home in on Allied radar transmitters ; around 1 , 000 units were produced but never used operationally .
