remote
It is unusual to find a unissued remote unit like that one is .
If you read the instruction plate under the lid, these remote units are actually to be used with wireless sets No. 1 and 11 .
The No. 1 set was a pre war 1930's British set , a handful of these sets were shipped out here pre war . At least one survives in NZ . There is a surviving pre war militia signal veteran, living in Adelaide , well into his 90's . He used the No. 1 sets .
This pic is of a No. 1 set in use in Tasmania of all places
The grainy pic depicts Woodside barracks, Adelaide and a No. 1 set in use with militia troops
The last pic is taken from the No. 1 set manual ..looks like a 11 set remote doesn't it
