TPS-10 Medium Range Height Finder Radar Set - A Medium Range Height Finder Radar set built by Zenith/RCA. The original TPS-10 was developed by the MIT Radiation Laboratory during WWII. The postwar A model was produced by Zenith Corporation and following models, including the D model, produced by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA). Modified versions were produced as FPS-4 (fixed) and MPS-8 (mobile), some 450 copies of these versions were produced between 1948 and 1954. TPS-10D Height Finder Radar
 From MIL-HDBK-162A - 15 Dec 1965: "Radar Set AN/TPS-10D is a lightweight, medium- range height-finding equipment. The extremely narrow beam width of the antenna makes it especially adaptable for use in mountainous terrain.
