1944 C-15A-Wire-5 Restoration

[Robert Bergeron]

General view . The radio is mounted on the Carrier No 23 . It consists of a large wooden plank with handles . It is lowered on the mountings No 1 and locked in place on the wireless table . If the radio is needed outside the box , you unlock the mountings and carry away the set .The carrier is quite complicated and made of many parts !

Larger view of the carrier and mounting on the left side . We clearly see Reg is missing the long front flat iron on the whole front of the table . Photo credit Super Dave . Q : What goes into that drawer under and to the left of the table ? Why is it locked ? Code books ?

Installed a proper bussbar today : Pure copper flat 1 1/2 inch wide, 1/4 inch thick and 56 inches long , like the original .

This is a diagram of the small drawer under the wireless table made by David Good .David called it a map table i would say it’s a writing table to jot down outbound / inbound messages . Could someone post detailed pictures of this drawer in the open position please ? I am going to try to reproduce it . Also details of the white octogonal piece , it looks like a handle to pull the table out . Thanks . Photo credit : Some by David Good and some by Bruce Parker

This is the drawer to the left of the WS table . It is deeper and locks for code books maybe ? Found the slot under the edge of the table for the locking bar . Detailed pictures please someone ? On Bruce ´s picture in b & W i see Masonite on top of that table . Masonite seems logical because that’s what covers both the cypher clerk and the wireless tables. Thanks. Photo credit David Good. PS : I had a small electrical fire in the control panel this afternoon . No damage done . A wayward bolt shorted the 12 V supply to the interior lights before the fuse as i was testing them . Smoke was coming out of the conduits ....I pulled the cables from the batteries so fast i could not believe it.
