11 Set stuff

[Ron Pier]

Thanks Dave. Someone suggested that the * might be something to do with a Canadian part. But Chris has confirmed, it's just for an amended part. In that respect I'm going to stick with the one I've made as it's clearly shown fitted to a British 8cwt. Cheers Ron

Gents, I need a couple of those watershed and collar, anyone got an original to post some pics?.

Thanks

I got this little handbook thinking there would be more about the 11 set, but oh well.
I thought the wavemaker class C No 1 was just for the 11 set but there's a chapter on using it with the 19 set. It's dated 1941.

My Antenna watershed. Made for me by a friend. Ron

Is that a plastic moulding ? Looks neat

Some sort of rubber/neoprene. Ron

Here's one for you guys across the pond. It'll be interesting to see what it goes for.

There's a Control Unit A on UK ebay. It's a 1939 date with the serial # over 11000. That seems kind of high for the date. How many would have been produced for the No 1 set? Judging by the last pic the serial numbers weren't consecutive. I guess different companies got blocks of numbers assigned to them.

my radio knowledge is zip, however The star in firearms and carriers refers to Canadian design or at least I thought so until recently.
I'm not sure what model or mark you describe the Canadian carrier mount as, Chris, but the prefix of the Ford part number CO1UC 105046 means:
C= Canadian design
0= 1940
1=85 horse power
U.C.= Universal Carrier.
I think the star designates a Canadian design in this mount. I have all of it as original except the big rubber boot. Quite a few copies have made it to the U.K. as a result of my bits.
I havent been able to follow or absorb you description, but that is probably me.

No bids on that British set in Malta.....I would have thought it would sell for that amount? Ron

The 'star' isn't Canadian. It's just a British/Commonwealth way of indicating a design change in a piece of military gear that isn't significant enough to warrant a new 'mark'.
