I started scanning the minutes of the Hamilton Auxiliary Defense force last night. I'll post up the relevant ones once I get them done. Briefly it does mention the truck was sent to Camp Borden for testing in August of 1940. The other interesting item in the minutes was that a scale model had been made and was sent to Ottawa along with some documents on it. I wonder what ever happened to them? Would it be stored away in he archives or war museum?
Interesting about what the Rypa was. Makes perfect sense that an elevator company would be contracted for making something like that. The elevator control boxes they where making then wouldn't have been all the different.
