Tank installations Churchill, Sherman, Cromwell, Comet, and Russian.
Armoured Car installations Lynx, Fox, M3
Carriers
Jeep
C15TA
Ground Station
Radio Truck
ACP
Etc., etc..
Every one different other than Installation Kit 1 which was common to all.

And the RCU's were used with a carrier, also include a spool of cable and batteries, the remote meant you could park the carrier under cover and use the 19 Set from a distance.(1/4-1 mile??) Always a good idea when someone is shooting at you. Both had to be attended.

The remotes say if you're more than 3 miles from the radio you have to use heavier gauge wire.

Default Wireless remote control unit No. 1

If you read the operating instructions for the remote control, when using the remotes with a WS-19 set, normal operating range was up to three miles.
For 3 to 4 miles add one X cell, for 4 to 5 miles add two X cells add one X cell per mile thereafter.
To increase the range up to 7 1/2 miles add 5 X cells to the remote control set.
This is assuming you are using Cable, electric 7/27 twisted copperweld or similar cable D8, MK III, twisted, or Cable, electric, D3, MK VI., twisted.
Normal resistance was 196 ohms per mile

I just got this Case Spare Valves off eBay for $27.50. It looks like it should have most of the stuff in there
I've now got a spare empty spare valves case if anybody needs one.

If the soldier had to lay a landline, why bother with the radio and just use a field telephone.
