The installation instructions for ''Truck and ground operations '' dated 1944 are on the front wall behind the no 19 set.

All ready to be installed and operated as soon as i can find the wireless table or reproduce one. Could somebody give me the dimensions please ?

Have i missed somthing from the CES ( complete equipment schedule ) kit ?

A lot of work to collect everything.

[super dave]

So are you referring to this table ??

[Robert Bergeron]

Affirm ! That's the one i need measurements for Dave.

Even better , a spare table.

[super dave]

I will try and get you some measurements and a couple more shots of it the next time I go for a visit.

[Robert Bergeron]

Many thanks mate ..

I will be in Ottawa week of march 7-12.

If you have not had time to drop by the truck at your end of the country , i will drop by the War Museum.

The have a nice early all steel bodied wireless box, with a table and a WS 52 on it.

Friends,

I worked on the ''penthouse tent '' that goes on the left (passenger ) side today.

For now it is just an awning but the sides and door will go in later .

In the picture you see it rolled up nice and tight in it's '' stored'' position .

Next week i will take measurements and i have the one on the right ( driver ) side made.

It will be nice to be out of the sun or rain at HMV meets.

On the left side ( passenger side ) will go the map table and a few chairs and ice chest and the one on the right side will be for storage and for the generator and fuel cans .

I will have an extension cable to bring over power for lights and a nice big fan in the penthouse tent on the left side.

Comfort in the field .
