Default COIL, Aerial Tuning No. 2 A. ZA/CAN 4725

The design of the Coil, Aerial Tuning No. 2 A is slowly revealing itself, in spite of not much being said about it in the documentation for the 52-Set. The only technical references it gets are that it is not to be used at all above 10 Mcs and the Sender is to be connected directly to the aerial in use, and, that it is fully interchangeable with the Coil, Aerial Tuning No. 2, issued with the Wireless Set No. 9 Mk I Cdn.

One thing that has now surprised me, because I have missed it for several years now, is that the front panel for the Coil is cut from 1/8-inch Aluminum plate whereas all the other components in the 52-Set have front panels cut from 1/16-inch sheet steel. I am glad I now found this out as I have no primer for working with aluminum when it comes time to repaint the Coil front panel. That product is now on my ‘To Be Purchased’ list.
