Wire-3 Fitted For Wireless Box details

[Jordan Baker]

Id like to start a thread on the Wire-3 Fitted For Wireless box in the hopes of documenting and figuring out the equipment and layout of it all. First up is a number of wartime pictures courtesy of Service Publications.

Of note in these pictures is the mounting of a 20' Antenna mast to the right side of the cab just to the rear of the driver door. There is also two 34' Antenna masts stored on the front panel of the box. Im not too sure on how they are secured in place on the box. Ive read that the spring rifle mounting clips were used.

In the first picture one can just make out a white headset/mic hanger bracket on the inside of the cab behind the passenger seat. Furthermore (can't find any pictures) the parts manual lists a dome light for the cab as well as the map light mounted on the dash.

Another thing to note is the cover for the chorehorse generator on the left side cab step. This has been covered in another thread but not fully answered.

Lastly, the two A & B antenna mounts on the box roof. Not the brush gaurd. Also does anyone have any pictures on the type of mount used for the right side one? I havent seen what appears to be a plate mounted paralle too but above the canvas roof.
