Found it. It's a painting by Ed Zuber held in the Canadian War Museum collection. Their website and access is very limited (crappy) and all I could pull off is this grainy image but notice the radio operator working a Canadian Amplified set towards the right. Only radio nerds would notice.

battery cables
Extraordinary find Bruce and you have a very good eye ! I never thought i would be playing around with complicated sigs ( radios) one day . Here we are : I made the battery cables today . 8 in all for the 4 X 6 Volts batteries because there are two banks made of 2 each to make 12 Volts . Banks 1 & 2 cables enter the control box from the bottom and make their way to the rotary white porcelain switch . It’s nice to have the wiring diagram : Thanks Bruce .

More wiring done today . I will have used 40 feet of No 2 gauge copper wiring , 10 battery terminals and about 30 copper 5/8 terminal lugs in this phase of the charging system restoration .

wiring almost done
Made good headway with the wiring of the battery banks today. Also brought into the control panel the cables from the generators . Everything is in place to do the control panel now. Hooked up the generators to the ground bussbar . Even the No 19 HP is hooked up to both the battery banks and the 110 V power supply .

switch
Found a really nice period all copper switch to select generators in the control panel . Q : to polish or to not polish ? I am asking because once the 75 year old patina is gone , it’s gone . Opinions , guidance ? What would you do ?

Polishing copper and brass with that patina will never bring it back to as-new. It tends to over polish the flat surfaces which accentuates the dark in the recesses and scratches. Given the apparent scarcity of knife switches, I'm thinking more and more about making them with new material unless somebody has a stash of them somewhere.
