Nice set.
I have one somewhere... perhaps can dig out and photograph the Instruction Card, Waist Belt and Batteries if you do not have these? Tim |

I'd love to see pics of the quick release belt (Part1 and Part 2) and the rest. What I do have but didn't show is a spare carrier in jungle green and the photo also shows the disc that was used to record the actual frequencies of the preset A, B and C channels. |

Not found the webbing bits yet - I know where they are, but not got to the boxes yet.
However, I have dug out the paperwork. WS46-1.jpg WS46-2.jpg WS46-3.jpg WS46-4.jpg Tim |

The battery used was the WS18 type: Battery, Dry, 162/3volt, and the tapped HT section provided 150 volt HT and -12V grid bias.
In addition to the instruction card, the actual working instructions were provided on a fairly indestructible aluminium plate, anodised so that the plate was black with silver lettering/lines. The Royal Navy knew the set as "Type 621" and there was B.R.1746 which contained the full set of EMERs. The backpack was also available without any of the set fittings, and with the hole in the side blanked off by a circular tinplate disk. This was Satchel, Signals, No.3 ZA.14869 and may simply have existed as a spare for replacement purposes. The rubber disk with the frequency list in it is also the protective cap for the set connector. Chris. (I need an instruction plate and also the aerial rod carrier to complete my set, if anyone has a spare.) |

Hi guys,
I think this is my first post on the forum so if im getting anything wrong please let me know. Im a ww2 reenactor part of a Royal Navy beach commando unit, i have aquired a non working yet complete wireless set 46, i know the beach commandos as part of combined operations used them as it is within their kit list mentioned in combined operations pamphlet 17 http://www.relaysystem.co.uk/KSB_Pam..._Commandos.pdf (page 16) The reason ive posted here is that i have and only have two photos of commandos using the 46 set, that ive found on the internet, plus the metal instruction plate diagram. Do you guys have any more images, of any unit using a 46 set? Ive trawled google, the IWM achives and every text book i can find. The reason is im trying to put the webbing gear together to actually hang the 46set from. i know it will be a 37pattern belt and cross straps, possibly with extenders. but for rest of the equipment im guessing. wireless satchel or small pack on the hip? but for the other side of the chest i have no idea. i have attached the two photgraphs i have many thanks Alan |

There are some smaller photographs in Wireless for the Warrior Volume 2, as well as line drawings, but they're not much help. As far as I can make out, the standard infantry belt and cross-straps are used, with brace extensions on the belt. The respirator is carried on the right hand side of the chest, for ease of access. The WS46 backpack (Satchel, Signals, No.3 plus wiring harness, etc.) is fitted with a pair of brace straps. The left hand one also has a 'Hooks, Brace' (as used with the WS38) attached. Belt extensions No.1 and No.2 are fitted to the left hand side of the waistbelt. Putting the set on must be something of an art! The backpack is worn in the normal way, and hooked onto the brace extensions. The set carrier is then suspended from the 'Hooks, Brace' on the LH brace, and secured to the waistbelt by the belt extensions. I'll see if I can get photographs of all the various bits so you know what to look for. There is no additional signals satchel carried; the backpack contains two batteries (one spare) in waterproof bags, along with the second headset assembly, aerial adapter, and ancillaries. Chris. |
