Maybe "TRUCK ??? GROUND KIT"...
I don't think the ??? can be "AND", as in Truck and Ground Kit |

I agree with your 'GROUND' and think it could be 'AND'. 19 set manuals talk about truck and/or ground installations.

Taking what Rob started with, the spacing between words would make Bruce’s idea for the 3rd line being “Truck and Ground Kit” a good possibility.
Is it possible, up to that point, we are just reading the first complete part of the item description? The second part of the description would then read: “Installation Kit Line” “Case 4 of 7” Could this case then have been part of a kit used to interface an unknown wireless system with some unknown form of land line, telephone switchboard system?

I can't think of what wireless set it would be other than a 19 or 52 with that lend lease decal.

Hi Bruce.
The RCA HAA units had a 3-ton truck set up with a 53-Set and receiver, along with a couple of switchboard systems and a bunch of multiphone??? equipment. Not sure what that latter stuff is, but I think the premise of the vehicle was to coordinate incoming target information and distribute it to the HAA batteries in the vehicles area of control. I think the 53-Set was strictly a made in England item, but could Canadian companies have still been given orders to make kits for it, to fulfill requirements for the Canadian Army? They could still have labeled the kits as Canadian make. Just guessing out loud. David |

By George, I think he's got it.
The COM GROUND thing really had me stumped. |

"CUM", not a word in common usage nowadays. Cum to think of it, "WIRELESS" has taken on a whole thing of it own too.

The only place I can recollect the word is with regard to University graduates: Cum Laude (academic honor of distinction )
Being a tradesman, and proud of it, I have rarely set foot into universities. Last edited by rob love; 10-01-20 at 12:13. |
