Thanks for your good words and help Dave.
Folks, here is a view of the charger switch. On the plate from left to right 3 switches : 110 volts, charger 2 -300 W , charger 1- 300 W Where would the 110 volt current come from ? Robert

switch
Folks,
A closer look at the said panel. Comments, ideas, facts ? If there are two 12 V 300 watt Chorehorses in the charging cabinet, where does the 110 V AC current come from ?

I would believe that the 110VAC would be supplied by shore power (local electrical utility) or via generator. There were many sizes of generators fielded for use in the ETO by RCEME and RCE.

Thanks Chris.
So there would of been an outside wire to supply 110 VAC to the illustrated switching panel going through the charging compartment and hence to the front wall outlet at the front of the box near the radio table ?

110 Volts AC
Simple answer.
If the military chose not to install the Onan Generator at the bottom of the Generator Compartment and went with the two chorehorse configuration instead, then that particular Wireless Truck would not have a 110 volt supply. Wilson supplied the bodies to the military equipped for either option. If no Onan was installed, the military did not rip out the 110 wiring. It just sat there gathering dust. As per the wiring diagram, 110 was an option. Also, there were three metal guards installed over the three switches on the side of the Generator Compartment. This was intended to force the operators to deliberately line their finger up with the specific switch/generator they wanted to activate and avoid accidentally sweeping more that one switch on or off.
