Default Battery charging area

Slowly making progress on the battery charging area of the box . Missing one Crouse -Hinse condulet and of course the control panel . The panel i will have to reproduce , the condulet i might find eventualy . The copper bus bar is coming along nicely and so are the battens battery charging . The electrical cable for the Onan generator starting battery is installed . That battery was installed below / under the wireless table near the left foot of the operator . That solved a mystery . Some restorators had that cable going all the way around to the cypher clerk’s desk . Not so . They cables stop like i said under the radio table and are used only if the truck is Onan 120 V generator equipped and only to start it . The Onan does not charge the radio batteries but it charges only it’s own starting batteries ( 2X 6 V = 12 V ) and it runs the No 19 HP on 120 Volts . My guess is the batteries were used only when the Onan generator was down for some reason .
