ARC-60 (or A.R.C. TYPE-12)
The company, Aircraft Radio Corporation (Boonton, New Jersey, USA) designed the original COMMAND set in the 1930s. These radios were used in World War 2 by the US Navy, US Army Air Force, and after the war in many commercial and private aircraft, including Civil Aviation in Australia. The post war development of these same radios, was called the Type-12 series of radios, which was later adopted by the military as the AN/ARC-60 series.
