ID this box

...one in Acton right at the crossroads. Been there for 30 years. Off a deuce M211. Didn't they get called a "Gin Palace"? Good for storage of parts. Not much else.

I scoped out that 211 box in Acton several times. Full of junk, very poor shape, IMO not worth salvaging.

"Gin Palace" was a term used in the Signal Corps specifically for the 15 cwt WIRE 5 radio vehicles. By the time we got M152s and deuce 209/211s, the term had fallen into disuse.

Pity.
