Robert

Might I suggest the Corbin Canada padlocks that Dirk Leegwater has available from LWD parts. A little pricey at 20 Euro each, but totally authentic. He has some that are keyed alike, although I think I ended up with 2 or 3 different keys in the set I bought for my carrier.

Although the military had a real habit of going through padlocks like drinking water, I was still finding a few of these kicking arond even in the late 80s.

Default Antennae gear

Hey Jordan,

I've got all the gear in your list and picture assembled.

Not showing the vehicle mounting brackets because they are on the vehicle !

Thanks again Jordan for the great reference !

Happy New Year.

Default power converter.

Here is my Metalic CPP-2 power converter on the floor under the temporary wireless table .

It converts 120 to 12/24 Volts for the 19 Set.

Bruce Parker has a nice post on this piece of kit on his week 45 chronicle.

Thanks Bruce and Happy New Year !.

Default Power outlet or telephone connexion - a mystery ?

Friends , this is my last post of the year and i would like to solve a mystery that's been bugging me for too long.

What are these connexions for please ?

Picture on the left is outside the left side of the box.

Picture on the right is inside the box below the telephone operator / cipher clerk position table .

Any definite answer out there with pictures and a reference please ?

12 V power outlet for the Wireless 19 or telephone connection for field phones ?

Let's resolve this before year end please !

They're far too heavy-duty to be telephone. They look very much like the studs/nuts and insulator on the Batten, Terminal, 4-Way, and the fact that they have wing nuts on both sides make it an "optional" feed-through, probably for power to the Penthouse when that's set up.

When using the penthouse, run a pair of suitable cables from the charging switchboard No.4 to the terminals on the inside, then connect penthouse lighting and/or another wireless set, etc. to the terminals on the outside.

(I'd expect the external cover to have a layer of insulation attached to the inside of the lid - it would be rather exciting if it came into contact with the terminals when the battery was connected.)

Best regards (and a happy and prosperous New Year),

Chris.

Default Box, spare parts No 33 set Canadian

Many thanks Chris and a very happy New Year to you also.

I think you are right on and the connexions are for DC to power the wireless sets installed outside..

I misspoke when i said it would be my last question for the year.

I have been using the spare parts box in the picture over the last year to store ... my spare parts for the No 19 in the wire 5 truck.

Last question of the year, promise : What is a No 33 set anyway and what was it used for ?

This is actually the Polish 1st Armoued Division in Bergen op Zoom, there is a Cromwell and Crusdader AA in the pic.
Lance, are you sure? There are multiple pictures of vehicles at the Bergen op Zoom square that are clearly marked Canadian(?). Or, are you suggesting that only the AA-tanks are Polish?

Alex, the 4th Canadian AD and Polish 1st AD were in Bergen Op Zoom, I don't think the Canadians had their Crusader AA's this late, this picture was probably 1st PAD, and or some vehicles from 4th Canadian AD, there are a few pictures of 1st PAD in Bergen, I might be confused, but thought that one was 1st PAD. Unless 4th CAD kept their Crusader AA's, the Canadians did have a few in Normandy, but I don't know if they kept them post Normandy.
