Sexton Wireless Cage Protective Screen

[David Dunlop]

Not at all familiar with the details of the Sexton, but that does seem a very odd set up to put a wireless set behind. In the photos posted so far, however, there appears to be a rather heavy duty switch box and voltmeter mounted near the top, and facing outwards.

Is this compartment perhaps meant for a PSU location for wireless equipment, like a chore horse etc.? Or a wireless power distribution centre?

Can that switch be operated with the screen guard in place?

The aux gen, a Homelite lives in the Rh rear box. The switch and gauge in the tin box is a battery balancing switch to allow wireless use from either battery.

Adrian is correct. The wireless set ran on 12 volts, the battery balancing switch allowed the user to draw from either 12 volt battery, on a 24 volt system
The openings on the cage are large enough for the average hand to fit through.

The cage looks to be no worse than the standard WS19 "brush guard", but looking at the kit list in the EMER (FZ256/3) is causing me some confusion: there are far too many 6-pt connectors, given that there's only a single 6-pt plug (on the supply unit for DC input). It may be that they were options for 24V installations and the driver intercom, though.

The radio goes on the bottom of the cage, fitted to Carrier No.2, the supply unit is mounted somewhere else (!) I believe, and there will be holes in the "box" for the A and B set aerial feeders.
