Wireless Set No. 52 Cdn, Carriers No.4

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

Some pics. Male connectors in the back of the case and female on the sender/receiver and supply units. The wires from the case plugs go through a metal cover on the back (that I can't get to without heavy lifting). The shock mounts are similar to 19/22 set ones but are about a half inch narrower bottom hole to hole.

Dave's somewhat right about stock metal. There unfortunately is a fair bit of custom shearing and bending of thicker material as well. It would be work and require a little help from your local metal fabricator, but a decent replica could be made.

Thanks for posting the photos, Bruce.

Interesting how the center Bridge Mount is inverted between the outer two. It really peaks my curiosity now as well, as to how these shock mounts actually function, mounted halfway up the sides of the Carrier. I was expecting them to be on the bottom of the Carrier, as per 19-Set equipment.

Does the Learning Curve for this stuff ever come to an end?

Ah, WW2 engineering at its finest!! The lower half is the heavy duty steel bottom and sides, the tops of which have the rubber mounts. This lower bolts solidly to the wireless table. The top is really three aluminum boxes that have a ledge half way down at either end for the other part of the rubber. The three boxes hang on the ledges by the rubber mounts which accommodate any shocks or bumps.

And no, it never comes to an end. As soon as you figure something out another project with its own set of mysteries pops up.

Yes, I found the pair of connectors I have. They're obviously from a stripped transmitter as there's 1 x 7 and 1 x 8 contact unit.

If you ever feel the urge to replace that chipped connector I can post you a spare - though you may need to swap the contact set(s) ove because some of these have been forced open slightly.

Chris.

Having lurked for a bit before I registered, I know that there are some very enthusiastic, knowledgeable people on here.

I scrounge through old book stores whenever I come across them, and I grab old military related books as I find them.

One book I have come across is "Working Instructions Wireless Sets Canadian No. 52 Vehicle and ground stations."

It was published 8 May, 1944

It's not in the best of shape, but it is complete, and mostly readable.

I have absolutely no use for it, if it would be useful to anyone here, I am willing to part with it, for the cost of shipping.

[David Dunlop]

PM sent Lance. I am interested.

David

[Lance Wiebe]

Wow, that was fast.
Two people interested, so the manual is no longer available.

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

Hi Lance, it's really nice of you helping people out with things like that manual. I hope some of us can likewise help you with one of your projects one day in return!!

(If you wish, PM me with your 'want list' of truck parts or militaria and I'll see what I can do...)

It occurred to me while I was going through some of my books that there are obviously people on here that would appreciate that book far more than I do.
Being retired Armour Corps (1970- 2001), old radios are not really my "thing".

My father also served, he started Artillery, but transferred to RC Sigs, maybe that's why I grabbed the book.
