Based on the information gathered so far on these mountings, I have drawn up the attached template of the probable hole pattern which should be found on any original Wireless Table that had the Carriers, Sets, No. 23 'Bread Board' mounted on it for the 19-Set. The template was drawn in centimetres, so the orientation of the holes to one another should be proportionally correct.

If any of you have original wireless tables for the WIRE-5 15-cwt Wireless Truck, can you check the table to see if you can locate this pattern of holes? If the top of the table is in tough shape, or bears a lot of holes, it might be worth looking underneath the table where the surface might be better protected. The top or bottom might also bear the shadows from the steel Table Mounting Strips used to reinforce these holes.

Should you find these holes on your table:

(1) Please confirm the dimensions shown for the hole spacings.

(2) Please provide measurements from the four edges of the table top plywood to the centre lines of the two vertical rows of Mountings holes and the centre lines of the foremost and rearmost horizontal hole lines. This will allow anyone restoring one of these tables in the future (or building a new clone) to correctly orient exactly where the Mountings, Carriers No. 1 should be located on the Wireless Table.

Best regards,


David
