Wireless 38
 

My wirelessing friends,

Q: Was the W38 AFV installed in anything else than tanks during the winter of 44-45 NWE campaign ? Could it also of been installed in Jeeps, Carriers or Sigs trucks ?

Many thanks .

Merry Christmas.

Carriers, possibly; Sigs trucks: probably not.

I've seen a carrier with control units 16 & 17 fitted once at Beltring a few years ago, I think it was part of the East Midlands museum collection but have no idea if it was a WW2 installation.

The initial WS38 tank install used an unmodified WS38 Mk.II with the normal infantry battery pack and a Control Unit No.12 instead of the WS38 junction box.

The "ANT Ltd" on your control unit is "Antiference Ltd", by the way, and is the Mk.1/1(or tropicalised) version - the original had fabric covered dropleads.

WftW Volume 2 makes no mention of anything other than tank installation.

There was post-WW2 use of the harness with WS31 and WS88 AFV instead of the WS38AFV, and that was definitely an option for the Daimler Scout Car because I have a typewritten "kit list" for it somewhere.

Chris. (And Seasons Greetings to all!)

Many thanks.

Question answered.

End of tread.

Happy New Year

Cheers.
