Packhow75 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I know what it is... Question is... In this configuration, on a demountable board... What vehicle would have used this. Rebuild date is 1957. Thanks. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrykins Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 My 1943 Chevrolet CMP C8a HUW has exactly the same layout, although I haven't a clue if it's right or not. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebuild date is 1957. Thanks. Tim That's Carrier No.3 (or in this case 23), and is the "Truck & Ground Station". It's general purpose and fits to a radio table with a couple of quick release rails (which also incorporate the vibration mountings). K9 with C42/WS19 is one option. 15cwt truck with "house type" body is another. I have an installation drawing for a Morris (I think) truck, somewhere. It's not for Jeep or Land Rover, as they used Carrier No.1 or 21 for fixed installations or No.25 for demountables with the variometer, aerial base and control box mounted on a plat on top of the set in order to save (horizontal) space.

Chris. Chris Other than the PSU which appears to have been replaced post-rebuild, would I be correct to assume that the rest of this installation is exclusively used in/with 1950s vintage vehicles? I also have a canvas cover which goes over the whole thing and is of a similar 50s date. Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian supply unit was a preferred option due to its lower power consumption on receive (using the vibrator supply) and it also allowed use in 24 volt vehicles. What I don't see it the top edge of the variometer mounting bracket, which should have the rigid aerial mounting for ground station use.

armouredfarmer Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Would certainly be correct for a K9 C42/19 installation, I have a scanned copy of the manual for this if you are interested as I am trying to get this installation together for my K9.
