Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

[David Dunlop]

Since I will not be operating the Sender for a while. I disconnected the 2nd CCP-2 Power Supply from my 12 Volt DC feed system for the wireless bench to tidy up the cable clutter in one corner. I took this opportunity to clean up the twin connector cable I obtained from Brian Asbury for this CPP-2 and the effort paid off, as it now looks much more like its probable ancestor, the Connectors, Twin, No. C1 which was part of the Remote Receiver Kit for the 52-Set. Before and after pictures attached.

While I think of it, the cotton twine on this cable in the before photo has a distinct waxy feel to it. I have noticed this before with most wartime cotton twines used to secure items for packing and shipping, and a few postwar military items as well. It is probably a bees wax based item and may even include fungicides. Anyone know if this would be the case?
