11 Set stuff

[Mike K]

Chris is correct

The WS 11 uk version had provision for running from dry batteries . Those are batteries behind the set . The UK manual mentions the dry batteries . The Aust. set manual does nor list dry batteries so they must have dropped the option .

Would any of those dry batteries have survived ?

BTW the Morris PU had a auxillary generator for charging the wireless batteries, the gene was mounted next to the gearbox, driven by a PTO and pulley .The Canadian setup used the chorehorse .

I have never seen a pic of the charging setup in a Canadian 8 cwt , it would have been interesting as the British units were issued with the Canadian made 8 cwt wireless vehicles
