Finn got a reaction from Bill Cross in Triple Ejector Rack / Mk series fuze wire connection
Here is a video showing Mk-82s being loaded on a TER (on a A-4 but still a TER), at the 2:40 mark the arming wire swivel is being hooked up to the nose arming solenoid:

edit: here is a view of a rack on a MER:
the arming solenoids are the grey parts on either side of the ejector foot (the one with the rusty screw below the pin). The white part to the left is for electrical fuzing i do believe.

Hi Marcel, here is a TER on a A-4 giving you an idea where the arming wires went:

scroll down to the next page to see another option for tail ariming/retarded mode for a Snakeye. I don't think the Navy used RBF pins for the individual racks.

Finn got a reaction from chaos07 in HK A-20G Pacific Theater
At the 2:35 mark in this video some AN-M40 Parafrags are being dropped by A-20s:
https://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675020569_New-Guinea-Campaign_General-Douglas-MacArthur_7th-Division_capture-of-Lae_9th-Division
you can view stills of the video below it. I wonder if they used this type of rack:
https://www.docdroid.com/K5Qj24z/douglas-a-26-ab-erection-and-maintenance-manual-pdf#page=563
The way they are dropping, and the number dropped (31 by my count - 1 chute probably not deploying) i'd guess 4 racks each with 8 bombs for a total of 32, in the aft bomb bay. Just a guess on my part.

Maybe that is why this F-4 crew is looking at one with envy:

Finn got a reaction from Marcel111 in A-7D Korat
A nice video of Slufs at Korat AFB:
also in the background in some scenes you can see a couple of EF-4Cs, at 27:48 & 42:18, and a pair of F-4Es with TISEO at 47:55 being air to air refueled (video is reversed but still nice).

Doesn't answer the question but some interesting details of the Kate, especially during the attack on Pearl Harbor:
