speaker connected to No 19 set

[Chris Suslowicz]

I think the Tannoy 'gun control loudspeaker' is probably a good solution, and if you need a volume control look at the Control Unit 190 as used on the Sexton for how that was set up. (I think I've got this right.)

OK friends , i have this now . How do i connect it to the No 19 set as a speaker ? The simpler the solution the better . Notice the lower buttons ( phone wire connection ? ) are identified as connecting to the No 19 . The upper ones are identified as «*line*» . How about if i connected it to a remote then connect the remote to the set with the snatch plug ? Will that work ? Thanks .

How about i connected the speaker to a remote hence the remote to the snatch plug on the control box of the wireless set ?

Interesting second paragraph . What does it mean ?

It means they used the intercom amplifier to drive the loudspeaker once they were set-up in position. (More power available than from the 'A' set audio output stage.)

You should be able to drive that at a reasonable level from the 'A' set, just use about a 70 ohm resistor in series with one of the loudspeaker terminals and connect it to the 'phones' output in a droplead or the terminal block in the control unit. Add more series resistance if too loud, reduce if not loud enough, but 70 should be enough to keep the 'A' set safe from overload.

I'll give it some more thought later. (There may be diagrams!)

apparently it was something that was done but not an official mod.

That may well be the origin of Control Unit 190.

UK War Office saying "Nothing official exists, local bodges only." and Canada thinking "OK, there's a need for this, let's do it properly".
