Lt-Col. (retd) Doug Gayton was OIC of the Canadian Army broadcast service for the CAOF. He has put together some interesting info and some great equipment shots of the studios in occupied Europe. I think the CBC used similar stuff. He mentions having a couple of 8cwts. I've compiled a pdf of the info and can email it to anyone who's interested. It's about 3.6Mb in size.

Just another quick thought re CBC Winnipeg, Rob.
Maybe touch base with Lorne E. His Dad worked there the same time Peter was with the Saskatoon branch and they might still know some contacts to check with on the old equipment. Now I must nap!!! Cheers, David

HUP s
Quote:
I believe that all of the small mobile CBC units where HUP(s) though they also had a Pattern 11 Ford 30 or 60 "Big Betsy" which was the first truck they shipped over seas. The also used various commercial vehicles until they settled on the HUP as being the most practical. The photo is believed to be Recording Unit -4 which seems to be the most photogenic of the trucks. Rob and any body else that is interested in the CBC radio correspondents and their equipment the best book is Powley, A.E., Broadcast From the Front: Canadian Radio Overseas in the Second World War (Toronto: Hakkert, 1975). (Which appears on e-bay and other book dealers.) Cheers Phil

I just bought one of the books from ebay. I got it from "E.G.URSUAL MILITARY ANTIQUARIAN" as they have been a reputable seller of stuff long before ebay.
The shipping price listed on ebay is wrong and they list the approx correct ones below in the text. My total in CND $ 22.23
