Wire-3 Fitted For Wireless Box details

[Jordan Baker]

Onto the inside of the box.

The wire-3 FFW box featured a WS19 set and its ancilliary equipment. There were three operator seats mounted in the back. A C5 charging board mounted at the front on the left. Two headset/mic hangers at the front hanging from the front canvas framework. On each side of the box was three storage containers. One was the same size width and depth as the wheel well and had a height up the top metal edge of the box (not the wood board) Both the right and left side ones had a door that hinged down using three hinges. The next storage box was mounted to the floor of the Wire-3 box in the area between the wheel well and the tailgate. It was the width of the wheel well and the height of the metal edge of the box. They both had a door that opened to the outside of the Wire-3 box. The right side box also has a headset/mic hanger mounted to it. The last two boxes covered the other two boxes and had a height approximately half way between the top metal edge of the wire-3 box and the first horizontal canvas frame support. Both boxes had a canvas top. The right side box had a hinged side that would drop down. The left side one, although behind the artillery plotting board, doesnt appear to have any hinges and would suggest a simple canvas top. It is beleived these two boxes were for storage of the crew's kit.

On the left side there also appears to be a folding table and one dome light is visible. Im not sure if this was a one off design but the wiring in spots is simply taped.

Lastly is the wireless table. This I am told is an all metal design based ont eh British FFW table. It has a pull out drawer with a reversed sloped door and a small note table.

The 5th picture is a bit of an oddity. It is the same truck but the layout is slightly different then the rest of the pictures. The big difference is the seat layout with one up front and two at the back. There is also an 11set charging board at the front left. The truck also has the doubled up 2 gallon carriers. Also the truck has 2 artillery plotting boards.
