Default 8 cwt

The Tripoli pic, the wireless vehicle in the foreground would be a F8 or C8 because of the gap between the tool locker and the cab . The T212 Dodges don't have the gap . I cannot make out the wireless set . Is it a No. 11 ?

I think it is a No.11, Mike as you can see the frame and it has the holder for the Hp/LP power supply.
Regards Rick.

That's definitely an 11 set and the charging switchboard is the right size to be the No 1. Nice find on that pic!
The power supplies are both in place to the right of the set.
