110 Volts AC
Simple answer.
If the military chose not to install the Onan Generator at the bottom of the Generator Compartment and went with the two chorehorse configuration instead, then that particular Wireless Truck would not have a 110 volt supply. Wilson supplied the bodies to the military equipped for either option. If no Onan was installed, the military did not rip out the 110 wiring. It just sat there gathering dust. As per the wiring diagram, 110 was an option.
Also, there were three metal guards installed over the three switches on the side of the Generator Compartment. This was intended to force the operators to deliberately line their finger up with the specific switch/generator they wanted to activate and avoid accidentally sweeping more that one switch on or off.
