Here's a few pages from the Special Pattern Vehicles manual. It says those grounding cables were only used on the 8 cwt vehicles. I wonder how much difference they actually made.

That's not a counterpoise, it's electrically bonding all the vehicle metalwork together to reduce electricalnoise from static charge buildup. (They use tinned copper braid for it.)

The drawing shows a 11 set mounting frame in that F8 . Maybe when the drawing was drawn, the 11 set was to be the set intended for use in the F8 and C8 vehicles . The Canadian made 11 sets maybe were used mainly for training .

I think the 11 set was the only one they used in the 8 cwt trucks. They were pretty well obsolete by the end of 1941.
That's why I posted them on this thread.

I have a Canadian low output power unit I got off ebay several years ago for around $50. That's the only one I've seen.

Isn't Kevin Powels 11 set a Canadian set? I have trouble searching this forum!
He has posted pictures of it and I'm sure it has a green front? On the subject of vehicle bonding to eliminate Wireless interference. I fitted the kit as supplied to my Willys Jeep. There was about 20 or so of those flat braided strips in various shapes and lengths for just about every thing metal. Even the choke cable and oil gauge pipe are earthed. Ron |
