In Canadian service, what vehicles would have carried these little gems in the postwar period and was there any usage outside battery charging?
thanks

Constantly strapped to the fenders of CP 3/4 tons, and once - much later ( early 80s?) Saw the ground unit of a hel sqn using 3 in parallel to power up the ground radios..

Robin
Pre war, these units were a very common item on prairie farms, providing DC power to farm buildings for many years before the electrical grids were pushed out to the rural areas. These farm generators were identical to the wartime unit, with the exception of not being equipped with the guard assemblies covering the upper workings. There was no provision to mount the guard on them. Wind powered roof top generators were another popular option on the farms and one still can spot the odd one sitting on an abandoned farm building in some of the more infrequently visited areas.
The big advantage the chore horse had was the farmer could set up a DC lighting system in each of his out buildings and just move the chore horse from one to the next and hook it up as needed. David

The Armoured O.P. Carrier MkIIIw., an Artillery spotter with radio gear, carried one on its left rear corner.
I could do with one for my carrier.

I am the proud owner of the two which were listed about a month ago in the Auctions section. Look like quite decent units and the price was right. Should be no issue to have them up and running....
