I have an original vertical aerial and the canvas bag for them. They are 3' sections.
Normal use was 2 sections (6') or 3 sections if the top hat was used. The bottom section had a small rain collar just above the mount to keep rain out of the socket. I can send you photos if you like.
Lynn - the WS11 was a complete system by itself. It was developed prior to 1939 and used up to about 1942 when the WS19 replaced it. It was configured many ways - ground, vehicle, pack mount, etc. It was what the LRDG used.
originally made in England but also made in Canada (mine is Canadian Marconi) and Australia.
