Here i am playing with Masonite for the shelves . Q : White side up or down or in other words the brown side up ? How about the one facing forward acting as a door to the lowest compartment ? In aviation we say : Keep the blue side up and the brown side down ..

Brown side up (sorry pilots) and not painted white if the HUW is any indication. The outside face of the lower vertical (is it not sheet metal?) appears white in original surviving examples.

Thanks Bruce . Rodger that for the lower door panel , white . Metal and not Masonite ? Gord Falk seemed to have a different opinion . Pictures, memories ?

Looking at your diagram, I would guess that the brackets hook to the front and rear of the wooden carrier in some way and are spaced left-to-right so the carrier can't slide around. This suggests that there has to be some way to release at least one of the hooks (likely a front hook) to get the hooks around the carrier. I don't have one to study so can't help more than that... photos will be welcomed if you do find one to work from.


Looking at the diagrams, the radio, power supply and antenna tuner all look to be a later generation than WS19. I don't know whether the carriers remained the same or changed with the generations of radio.

Those are the post-WW2 mountings for Carrier No.25 with Barry mounts instead of the 'bridge type' shock absorbers. (The set shown is a C12 and the front clamps are wound in and out by a slotted screw below the hook.)

The wartime ones were mostly made from sheet metal. (I have a spare one somewhere (hoping to find a partner for it eventually), and will see if I can find it for measurements, etc.)
