Default writing table

Thank you for your nice words Bruce . Here i finaly realised the sliding writing table under the wireless was made out of wood .So i cut to size some 3/4 inch plywood and covered it with similar sized Masonite for smothness and finish .

Here is another shot . I am starting to work on the metal drawer to goes to the left of this writing table . It slides out on the same rails as the writing table to the left of it . It has a lock to secure code books i presume , at least that’s what we did in my time ...I put in a little Jimmy aide memoire in the picture to bring joy to my friends who used to be signalers by trade .

More likely to stop people stealing the operator's pencils!

I'm trying to think what stationery would be kept in the vehicle,

The operator would need:

Wireless Log (either a tear-off pad (probably) or an actual book)
Message Pad(s) (AF C2128 or AF C2136 (Small) + AF C2136 (Large))
Wireless Diagram sheet (Network Diagram with NIS and callsigns for the day)
Authentication code sheet for the day.
Lots of pencils.

The clerk would need:

Signal Register (AF B2504)
Envelopes for message forms
Carbon paper
D/R Docket book

Other forms, depending on whether he was doing the work of a Signal Office or just message distribution.

(I need to go and read the various "Signal Office Working" publications again.)



Chris.

Thank you Chris, that is very useful information . I made up an improvised ground for the truck . It helped and reception was improved by a factor of 2 . Still using 3x 4 feet F rods . Amazing what little details will do !
