In Canadian service, they were part of the C-42 radio sets, which were 24 volt. If you were in an observation post, you could have the chorehorse set back a little ways and with the exhaust pipe slightly buried, it made almost no noise. When the C42 radios went surplus in the early 1980s, the Saskatoon surplus store also got the chorehorses. Some were used, some were still new in their crates with their lend lease decals.
