REME 245 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks for the information. From memory in the book Wireless for the Warrior there is a list of British made generators specified for this purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listerdiesel Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks for the information.

REME 245 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Unfortunately the volume of Wireless for the Warrior I have does not cover the Number 12 Radio Set but in the back of the one I have it lists the following generator sets for this equipment. Generator Set Johnson 225w Generator Set BMB DC/AC 250w No.1 Generator Set BMB DC/AC 250w No.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listerdiesel Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Need to have a look out for information on those then. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Unfortunately information on war-time generator sets and military stationary engines in general seems limited. There must be an official document some where listing all the types and their purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Peter Having had the opportunity top read volume 1 of Wireless for the Warrior I can see where the confusion is over the type of generator used on the No.12 Radio Set. The Mk1 set required a power supply of 100-225 volt, 40-50 Hz. The High Power version however required both a 230 volt 50Hz and 12 volt 2A power supply. Hence the need for your Pincor Generator. These sets due to their size were normally fitted into Bedford QL Command vehicles where the standard generators supplied the power. The ideal of using one in the dismounted role seems unlikely but the existence of the generator is obviously the proof. Demand for these generators must have been extremely limited.

listerdiesel Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 That's handy to know, many thanks. Information gives the No12 set a range of only 60 miles or so, was this the low or high-power version I wonder? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Unfortunately I have given the book back to its owner but 60 miles is a good range for a war-time set so I would say the High Power version. Obviously as already stated your Generator seems to have been specifically procured for the HP version, hence the voltages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedawnpatrol Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Sorry, could someone point me in the direction of downloading a manuel for the Wartime Chore Horse ? I need to start overhaulling mine. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Do note: The layout of the magneto plate points are diffrent between the two. The plates will interchange on the engine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 If you read this thread you will find a link for the post-war BSA version. There is nothing substantially different from the war-time version. There are a couple of pages missing from that manual. Here is my little genny: [video=youtube_share;8M-3ABUc_oI] Cheers, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
