- Radio Wavemeter, Type SCR-95, 1918 - This wavemeter was likely developed by the US Army Signal Corp for military use. Its purpose is twofold: to detect the frequency of an incoming signal, and to check the frequency and harmonics of an outgoing signal. Early radio operators, working with multiple and specialized technical components, used wavemeters to determine the clarity and strength of their transmitters.

- Radio Receiver, Type SE-950, Used by Charles Francis Jenkins in Experiment Detecting Radio Signals from Mars - The SE950 was produced commercially during WWI as a rugged field radio; its versatile nature allowed it to remain useful in Charles Francis Jenkins' laboratory. The radio was used in a curious 1924 experiment as Mars drew near Earth's orbit. The SE950 was connected to a device capable of photographically recording any "alien communication" broadcast during military-imposed radio silence.
