Default Wireless set No. 9

To get a indication of the size and bulk of the UK No. 9 wireless set , this training film depicts the set being set up in the field . AWM F05239

The Aust. WS 109 set appears to be a altogether different design compared to the UK 9 set. https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/mil_gb...s_set_no9.html

I can't imagine how they managed to install a No. 9 set and its battery inside that little tank !

Tony, I'm so glad I'm not wasting my time
Mike you are right, they are enormous. I think it would still fit in the back of the turret as it would be about 4' across and the batteries would be down in the turret basket. How things have changed

I am fortunate to have an original clutch, brake, Accelerator floor plate so I replicated one today and some more linkage. The plate has a 1/4' wire edge which I can do on my bead roller.

There are quite a few panels inside the tank that this machine will be very useful for. I cut the holes in it with my cnc plasma cutter.
