Morning, Chris.
Based solely on my observations of a main 52-Set Receiver, I would say the connector plugs on the Transmitter, PSU and Receiver of the 52-Set are all “female”, in that the terminal posts within their plugs are all twin stub clips.
That would suggest the four plug assemblies running along the upper rear of the Carriers No. 4 consist of single stub blades that slide into the clips on the three component plugs when the components are mounted into the Carrier. That would make the four Carrier Plug assemblies “male”.
The other ‘unknown’ I have at the moment is how the wiring between the four plugs on the Carrier No. 4 was actually carried out. Were special loomed cables pre-assembled to make these connections within the conduit running along the back of the Carrier, or, were individual wires used to connect each relevant plug terminal pair?

Edit: PS. This is where a copy of a REME Shop Maintenance Manual for the Wireless Set No. 52 would come in real handy, wouldn’t it?
