Flimsy fuel can flex hoses/spouts 19 sets ect

[Dean (Ajax)]

sapper740, I sent you an email last night, I will get some photos to you in the next day or two, I picked up some more of the straps and more of the "mount carriers" yesterday..along with more ariel mounting bit...gotta sort them out and dig out the other bits I have for the 19 Sets that are in storage right now.
Too be honest, I know very little about these radios, I was just lucky enough to find the mounting parts on my travels

Here's some pix Dean sent me so I downsized and posted them. Now we can all figure out just what he has. One thing for sure there's lots of mounting brackets.
Just which brackets and straps would be needed to mount the set in a CMP? As for the aerial mounts, which type of aerial would the cones be for? I assume the cones and 6 holed plates go together.

Sadly I don't know the length of the #3 fixing strap. However it would be longer then the #2 fixing strap (10.5") but not as long as the really long ones. Does that make sense

Or if you don't have any, I would gladly take one of the long ones.

Dean, could you post a pic of the flexi spouts for all of us to share please?

It will help those of us at the furtherest ends of the earth to see what we should be looking for!

cheers

The single item of its type, in the center of the first photo, is a Number 19 Wireless Set mount for a Variometer. The rings with six holes are usually made of wood but I've heard there was also a rubber pattern. It is used as an insulator for the cone shaped aerial mount which is used for the Number 19 Wireless A-Set. The B-Set aerial mount is usually about 4" tall and 1.5" diameter rubber and the aerial itself is about 2.5' long being for short range formation transmissions. The rubber part would mount onto a short pipe looking thing. Don't you just love technical jargon

Looks like the short and long straps are the lengths used for power supply and transceiver to each fasten down to the mounting plates when side by side. The middle size strap used for the PS/U to attach to the top of the transceiver has thus far also eluded me. I built one following a tip from another forum member, by lengthening a spare short strap. So there are at least three of us needing the medium size for our wireless sets.

HI David

What did you use to lengthen the short strap. I was thinking some kind of tow strap material would work?

[horsa]

Hey Jordan,

I used a piece of material from a ratchet type tie down strap which was roughly 3" wide and a close match in size to the normal WWII straps. Since the originals are pretty tough, I hammer riveted the straps together as it would have been difficult to sew and won't be visible. Just make sure the two places you have to join up are past the metal angle brackets that hold the PS/U and then they won't be in the way of anything.

Okay, here goes:

Pic No.1 (laid out on the floor)

The mounting brackets (with the rubber shock mounts) are used in pairs to
fit a (demountable) WS19 into a truck - they're part of the "Truck and
Ground Station" outfit, and require the set to be mounted on Carrier No.3 (23)
- the wooden board type - or the later No.25 - steel with a strap that goes
all the way around set and supply unit.

Top left of picture: Aerial Base No.8, Mounting No.3 - a spacer that fits under
the aerial base to allow clearance for the connector plate (if used) and to
center the feeder cable in the cut-out part of the mounting (or vehicle skin)
to aboid wear/short circuits. These exist in wood (with cork gaskets), rubber,
and (post WW2 steel (need rubber gaskets to seal the vehicle).

Top middle: Aerial Base No.8 - Standard base for the 'A' set, uses the 4-ft
"Aerial Rods, F" (no 1, 2 & 3) to make various lengths of whip antenna.

Centre of picture: "Plates, Seating, No.4" this is part of the Truck and
Ground station. It fits to the left hand side of the power supply unit and
holds the variometer. It also has a _rigid_ paxolin/tufnol aerial mounting
permanently connected to the variometer by means of a copper strap.
It takes 'F' rods when used as a ground station, or an aerial feeder (No.9?)
cable that connects to a Base No.8 for use in the vehicle.

Right hand side: loads of mounting straps for the WS19 carriers. Short ones
for the supply unit, long ones for the set. These are for Carriers No.1 (21)
or 3 (23).

------------

Pic No.2 (the ammo box)

Aerial bases, clamping straps, an operators lamp, and a load of little boxes that could contain anything! (Probably lamps, clips and small parts.

Hope this is some help.

I don't know the CMP, but if the set is fitted permanently, you need Carrier No.1
(or 21 which is the later painted version), or if it's a demountable setup, the
wooden board Carrier No.3 (or 23).

Chris.
