Thanks guys.
Mine still has the document "slot" inside the front panel. Any ideas on the light switch? Rob my 101cdn2 was numbered T-95....interestingly, this was about 6" high on each side and back, but painted over and then repainted about 3" high before being painted out. I dont suppose that's of much significance? it has the signals tac symbol, but never saw evidence of a cfr number.. thanks again

Hi Mark,
The blackout light switch was unique to the Canadian trailer versus the US trailers. I have switches, NOS condition with metal shell Douglas connecters. PM me for details. ..... Brian |

Hard to say on the T95. Normally a trailer would have the same call sign on it as the vehicle towing it, except with a T after the call sign. I never worked much with the signals regiment so I can't say who a 95 in that organization would be.
CFRs were not generally marked on the M101Cdn2 trailers. Most of the ones I purchased had it in grease pencil under where the license plate would be, but this could have been just a local thing. The CFR can be found by looking through the data on the EDR viewer, but it really is a crap shoot as you must open each one at a time and the serials are not in order of their CFRs. With around 1400 (?) Cdn2 trailer CFRs to look through, it can be time consuming. |

95 would seem to infer a C/S being part of the CO's Rover Group.

These document boxes were the perfect size for the US TM- manuals, which we used in the 50s. It wasn't until the 70s and 80s that the manuals were redone into Canadian bilingual three ring binder format.

Thanks jason, but mine has the slot-like box inside the trailer...unless there was a lid for this? (which mine doesn't have...although it doesn't look like there was a lid.
however if yours has the bigger box on the front, some nice photos of that would be apreciated..esp the way its mounted, as these boxes can be purchased (thanks againi for the link guys !) BTW do the catches on those boxes have a hole to be fitted with a small pad lock? ROB- Im sorry I was not able to get to Bloomfield to photo the other firetruck..I did not get close to that area this summer...my apologies.. ;-( BRIAN i'll email you cheers

Yes, there is a lid for the pamphlet box. Note that it opens left to right. There were a pair of solid rivets which acted as the hinge IIRC.
There were no catches on the pamphlet holder and only one latch on the cable holder with no locking feature. Last edited by rob love; 11-09-11 at 18:22. |

Did these trailers leave the service with the M38A1 style light or were they upgraded. Does anybody have a Data plate that they could part with?
