The Gibson Girl was the personification of the feminine ideal as portrayed in the satirical illustrated stories created by illustrator Charles Dana Gibson during the first 15 years of the twentieth century.

During my time in the Service I had been fascinated by the peculiar shape of the US manufactured emergency transmitter type AN/CRT3, affectionately named 'Gibson Girl'.
When the US became directly involved in the war, the demand was speeded-up and an initial order for 11,600 sets was placed to be delivered '...as soon as humanly possible...' The first sets were delivered in the last week of May 1942, initially by Bendix but later also assembled by a number of other contractors.
The mechanical construction of the US version known as SCR-578, not much later affectionately called 'Gibson Girl', a name taken from the narrow-waisted female drawings of 1890s fashion artist Charles Gibson, was superior to both German and British predecessors.
