Default Richard

On polarity.
You obviously know the answer on the Dingo. I concede.
On British civvy vehicles I still believe I am correct.
I pulled the few books I have available. (only two relate to British )
This cross section might interest some people.
MBC1 Canadian Neg earth.
GMC ccw 353 25 amp geny Pos earth.
GMC ccw 353 40 amp geny Neg earth.
UCF1. Canadian MkI carrier. Pos earth.
Armoured O.P.MkIII (Brit. carrier) Pos earth.
Aust Carriers. Pos earth.
All are 6 volt.
So Richard ,during wwII there was obviously mix and match. What,as far as British built went, dictated polarity? It wasnt neg earth for radio equiped vehicles, because the A.O.P. carrier was purpose built to be fitted with radio gear and was pos earth. Your comments.
