WS 19 MkII jeep install questions
All,
I’m installing one of my MkII 19 sets in my jeep. I’ve not seen any install instructions for a Jeep, so I’m just interpolating from some of the install instructions I’ve seen. For the power cable, am I correct in thinking that I need either the Connector, Twin, No. 88, or the Connector, Twin, No. 194? I’m also going to need an Aerial Feeder Assembly, but which one? Lastly, this set has been inactive for years, but I’ve opened it up and it looks good on the inside. From what I’ve read, I need to apply low voltage, approx 3 volts for about four hours. If nothing grenades, then I need to gradually increase the power until I get to full power, that being 12 volts. Just how am I supposed to accomplish this? V/R James D Teel II Edmond, Oklahoma MVPA 30889

I'm not a Wireless expert, but I've been collecting the stuff for 30 years. I've heard of 19 sets being recommissioned by either using a flattened battery and gradually bring the charge up, or more professionally, with a Rheostat switch.

It's all I knew about 25 years ago when I first mounted it......I guess I must have seen pictures or something? Ron

The attached has been lying on my computer for a long time, and may be of some small use to you. Sorry, can't remember where it came from originally. 3 more picture files to follow... Owen.

Thank you, Owen. I'll add those to my reference materials. Have you seen this photo on page 108 of, "The Standardised War-Time Jeep"? What control box is this?

P.S. My father mounted his WS19 on the offside too. If you aren't fitting the charging set, I suppose having all the weight on the same side as the driver and fuel tank might make the jeep lean a bit. Owen.

I’ve found it. It’s a US Army J38 Morse key. The junction box mounting on the dash in the British style threw me.

That is where the illustrations in Wireless for the Warrior Volume 2 came from, and the extra detail is very helpful, particularly the part about the 'A' set aerial mounting - the variometer uses Aerial Feeder No.4 and presumably some packing washers inside the mounting (since it's intended for use on 1/2" or thicker armour plate). I have the 'B' set aerial mount if anyone needs measurements, and would be interested in getting the other one (even though I don't have a vehicle). The mountings should not be that difficult to make up if you have the measurements and some metalworking tools. Chris. |
