The Canadian and British ones are not all that apart on configuration. Both have the Mk.III set and supply unit on the bottom. The British RF No.2 sits directly on top of the sender/receiver whereas the Canadian one chose a space-taking frame. The Brits used an aerial tuning unit not much bigger than a variometer but we Canadian made that big square box on the top left instead.

If I am understanding the 19-Set HP correctly then, the Canadian version required two main additions to the standard 19-Set: power supply located immediately above the transceiver assembly of the 19-Set and the Amplifier itself located over the 19-Set PSU.

By comparison, the British design was a one piece integrated unit mounted above the 19-Set transceiver.

My brain tells me the British design makes more sense, but my heart tells me the Canadian design was, well…Canadian.

Wish I had lived in the Toronto area in the late 1940's and early 1950's. I vaguely recall running across an old advert in an electronics magazine from a company in the Toronto area at that time flogging complete 19-Set HP Installation sets somewhere in the $300 range.

Too soon old. Too late smart. Even later rich!
