Radar Trailer
Mike C My friends might accuse me of putting you up to posting your recent item on the thread started by Tony Smith back in 24.02.05. It comes on the eve of the publication of a piece that I contributed to the IEEE Canadian Review Autumn 2012 issue. Followers of this thread might like to log on to the web edition of the forementioned piece at www.ieee.ca/canrev/index.html Click on the cover photo in the top left corner and a link to the full article will appear below the photo as Hi res PDF.file. 6.0.MB. Scroll down to the item titled LAST ONE STANDING.
I have been unsuccessful in getting any useful information about the former WOODSTOCK, ONTARIO company TRUCK ENGINEERING LTD where the radar trailers were manufactured during WW II Cheers Brian ( aka Alamotex)

Interesting article
Hi Brian
Just read the article surprisingly a non-technical more historical description of these 1st mobile fire directory units. Here is the link straight to the Journal http://www.ieee.ca/canrev/cr69/IEEEC...eview_no69.pdf . I have followed this thread and the discussion of radar with interest as my father was an electrical engineer working on the development of Radar for the US Navy during the Second World War. Working on both ship board and ground mobile units. Now I'll have to go digging through back issues of the IEEE Journal to see what other bits of historical interest may be hiding there. Cheers and Thanks for sharing this link Phil

Looks as if you are right ,Tony. Neither the link provided by me nor the direct link suggested by Phil worked when tried them. Could be that the ieee link was a one off for my personal use only. Will send PM as a follow up. Brian

Congratulations on your recent aquisition. The AN/MPS 501B can trace its roots back to the WW II ZPI unit of the GL III (c). Look forward to paying you a visit in the Spring. What's the condition of the interior ?
Attached are some photos I took of a similar unit which is in the Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa.
