Chore Horse power cables?
 

This power cable set: ZA/CAN 9682, Connectors, twin, 6-ft, 3/4 in., No.C1, packed Sept.1947. May be a Chore Horse accessory or perhaps #19 set? Or perhaps for the CPP-2 Power Supply? Any one with an accurate ID? The clips are 25 Amp Mueller Universal No. 24A. The clip on the red positive cable has a “+” cut-out to identify it as positive. The other clip has no cut-out.

The grommet suggests it was meant to pass through a sheet metal enclosure, doesn't seem to suggest chorehorse application... but this is only a guess.

I don't have a good enough mental image of the CPP to make intelligent comment but Peter Simundson posted a photo of CPP with similar looking cable (but not a grommet?) http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=20182

Looks chorehorse to me.

The original cables with the nos chorehores I bought are both black ...not red & black . The cables came in a white thin cotton bag .

Bill Drew had a shed full of NOS chorehorse parts in the early 80's. God knows where it all ended up ...probably scrapped

Grant: good eye to spot the grommet. I can’t think of an application where the cables would pass through a hole. Will keep thinking of where it could be used.
Mike: you are correct on the Chore Horse cables being black rubberized cables so my sample is not officially a Chore Horse accessory.
I ran the ZA/CAN number in the 1985 Canadian army microfiche but it was evidently a discontinued number: if I could have gotten a Federal Stock Number then it maybe have led to a better description or end use.

This is unfamiliar ground for me. But in the picture of Peter Simundson's equipment there is a round notch on the left side of the case which could hold the grommet when the flap/lid is shut down? Ron

Brian.

Isn’t there a chorehorse installation for one of the CMP’s where it is mounted on a step, or fender, in a protective metal shroud? Someone was looking for this installation info on MLU a couple of years back.

That was me David. I don’t believe these are the cables. The chorehorse on the Wire-3 I believe was hard wired in and didn’t use the clips. The wiring would have gone from the chorehorse to the charging panel.

Ron. That cutout on the side of the CPP-2 is to accommodate the AC cord, but I suspect it is that type of cutout arrangement the grommet on Brian’s cable is meant to fit.

Jordan. Sorry about that, Chief.

The more I look at that cable, the less chorehorse intended it becomes. I am starting to think Switchboards, Charging C5, or similar related items, mounted in a metal panel box. The clips would obviously connect to a storage battery and the lugs to terminals on the board. There would be a half moon cutout somewhere on the edge of the metal panel box near the terminals that the grommet would fit into to protect the cable when the panel box access cover was closed. Wireless vehicle, or Generator Trailer item perhaps?
