To illustrate the evolution of the use of the Wire-5 2K1 trucks here is a picture of one being in use post war . The uniform appears to be from the late 50’s / early 60’s and we have a great view of the radio set inside . Out went the wartime No 19HP sets .Could someone knowledgeable tell us what set this is please ? Photo credit : Communications Museum Kingston . Could someone also identify more precisely the period uniform please ?

Thank you Bruce for your post and picture . Here we have a good view of the control panel , the little shelf just above and the 110V outlet that is in use only in the Onan generator equiped versions of the 2K1 - 2K2 trucks .

Here we see the power cable flexible conduits i installed today . The conduits that come from the generator box to the control panel and the one that goes to the battens that allows power to flow to the wireless set .

There is a very interesting article on the Amplifiers Canadian No 19 on the QSL website . https://www.qsl.net/ve3bdb/19amp.html I learned reading it that the Amplifier set was not only used by Canada during WW2 but also during the Korean war ! Here is another interesting link : www.jproc.ca/marconi/no19_set_amp.html
