As I'm sure you know, the dogbone is in the wrong place. It should connect the top two 12 pin sockets.

Hi Simon, thank you very much for very interesting information!Oh, yes, welcome drawings, regards

Hi Tom

 

the Chore Horse or BSA 300w generator is correct for the MWR and fits in the drivers footstep box although it is a squeeze. It was never intended to be used other than when the set was used as a ground station, That wiring schematic also shows the radio equipment in one version of the MWR and is probably the "simplest" to find - although finding signals equipment can be both time consuming and expensive - it is just shown removed from the vehicle which was an intended option. The four batteries are clamped two either side of the table and the charging board with its protective cover is attached to the LHS of the headboard adjacent to the control box for the auxiliary generator. The radio carrier simply clicks into mounts on the table

 

Bins were either 56" or 36" long, 12" wide and 9" high. On the LHS the 56" bin went on top of the wheel arch cupboard and the shorter rear cupboard. The 36" bin went on the RHS above the wheel arch cupboard. Other MWRs had another horizontal cupboard on the RHS in place of the bin. The bins had a canvas flap. I can let you have my drawings if you want.

 

The MWR with a raised tilt - to provide more headroom - is a post war modification - note the xxYTxx registration.

 

The boxes bins and cupboards are for aerials, radio/vehicle spares and the crews kit. The horizontal lockers on top of the wheel arches will take spare radios and power supplies, although the official inventory for a 15cwt radio truck does not include spare radio/psu.

Thank you, Nicky, very intersting photos!

I only think about this Wireless scheme, here is four batery boxes and MWR have only two(?),

Many questions for this small truck...

Send photos my weekend work, MWR is back on Tyres(!), Uf, it was hard work.

Tom

only note- please to add a chemical stain on bonnet;), by photo.....

HI Richard, thank you for info, think its nice item, wartime item, Tom

Hi Tom

 

What you have is an 80W Lightweight Charging set

If you google that you will find the manual for it.

They were used by airborne troops in WW2 and were manufactured by

various companies (I have a couple made by Stuart Turner)

They were also used by the British Army up until the 1980's. Nice little

engines but a bit noisy and prone to the magneto failing.

 

Cheers Richard

Generator is 80watts, and this box is perfets size for this generator, I dont know , but this elertical scheme is not for MW(?), true is this generator is on Radio jeep with ws 19, I think by this true info, jeep+WS19+ 80wats similar to MWR, and good size this creazy box on driver side. And two photos CIABG MwR on parade Prag town 30.5.1945

Hi Smon, thank you very much, I see in detail Nicky's thread , much help me. becouse , for example have only small part internal wood box, think with Nicky pans make good repro this boxes, But still have many questions marks, for example for what is this boxes? Why is box with generator on driver side???Think is very poor for driver, or why

Why lifting the tubular structure with the sail up?Its on colour photo.ou, but Im happy owner MWR, orig.MWR, no rebuild ex-MWC or MWD. About this generator, please photo with this 300watts in the box, think 300w is big size.

Hello Tom - we both travel the same road.

 

This might help. it is a schematic of the radio equipment fitted in one type of MWR. it is shown in the ground station mode but shows the generator, charging board, battery boxes and the radio carrier onto which are mounted the set, power supply, variometer etc etc. which are fitted inside the vehicle. Everything could be taken out and setup in a building if required. The radio board clips onto the radio table. There was a useful thread on MLU which showed all the furniture for the back of an MWR but it has been lost through the Photobucket debacle.

 

The MWR has the A set and B set aerial mounts fitted to the tilt frame. These are standard fittings. All the ignition wiring is shielded.

 

You will also need the control box for the auxiliary generator fitted to the LHS front. These appear to look similar to those fitted on the bulkhead or fitted in the QLR and Dorchester ACV

 

The other thing to do is to look at Nicky's thread on the restoration of his MWR here on HMVF.

Thanks for the info, but I have no manual with exact designation of the generator. I do not have a war picture. But this generator fits into the box. Unfortunately, I have won the MWR wreck and get any part is a problem for me, but also a holiday. I miss the information about inside transmitter and the antennas, help me? For the MWR he has Canadian the WS 19 .Not easy project

two nice items for my MWR project,

generator and roof window....

and one photos military vehicles store near Davle, store for movie, this area Vltava river is very nice for visit!

Hi, notes Remagen in Czech was in vilage Davle, but in 1968(I born in this year and my father was actor as "US soldier" in this movie!) Send photos

regards Tom

Higgins field workshop working....

Tom Higgins

Thank you Richard,

but MWC was "only" rusty,

MWR is very badly damaged,

but I try back life to this wreck,

becouse think MWR is in better condition as Austin Tilly, few years ego.

Tom

Thank you, very much! But my is only six vehicles.....

Maybe next years will be MWR, try, try

few photos from Pilsen town celebration may 2017, my MWC, MWC, and others friends British, Canadian vehicles, nice weekend!

after long time, Im back, try start restoration my wreck MWR.....

all is broken, damaged or missing, good pedestal:cheesy:,

look for MW bonet?

Tom

Few photos from "new" life my Austin Tilly and

idea for next year-

meeting Tilly vehicles in the Normandy , june 2017,

I dont know, maybe its stupid idea,

but next year wants go again to Normandy, to Longues sur mer,

to Netherlands friends camp,

and think about time in the Normandy, think about program and

if owners Tillyes wants go to Normandy?

If wants go on this meeting?

Think meeting before D-day museum Arromanches(good place for parking), Tillyes go across town,

down on beach and go short way,together, on sand to

forgotten fourth exit port Mulberry, in village St.Come

and by this old exit back on the road, and back to Arromanches....

its idea,

reg.
