Carrier set N°3 for what ??

Possibly for Wireless Set No.38 Mk.II in a tank?
(The early AFV fit used a standard infantry set and Control Unit No.12 to allow communication with supporting infantry. It may be part of that setup.) Chris. |

Is so, that could be very useful for my Firefly resto.
The CES lists the WS38 (note - not WS38AFV), but no information given about how this set is mounted. I had assumed that perhaps it was just carried loose somewhere. Anyone know for sure please? Cheers Tim |

The 38 set utilised its own battery, presumably the standard set battery and as Chris said, was connected to the system using a CU No. 12.
I suspect the plan to fit them in a lot of tanks never quite came to fruition as you often see the extra aerial mounting bracket welded on with no aerial base fitted in wartime photos. I have seen a drawing of the installation in a Churchill, can't remember where!

Gents,
The Working and Fitting Instructions for W.S. No. 38 Mk II or II* in Churchill Tanks can be found here: http://www.vmarsmanuals.co.uk/archiv...chill_Tank.pdf On page 18 you can observe the nomenclature for 2 different "Carriers": "ZA 16870 Wireless Sets No. 38 Mk II or II* Carriers No. 4" is used in Churchill III and IV. "ZA 17203 Wireless Sets No. 38 Mk II Carriers No. 5" is used in Churchill I and II. So the Carrier under discussion is not for a Churchill but it may house a No. 38 set in a different vehicle.
