Did RCA Canada ever publish a manual for the Switchboards, Charging, No. 5C Cdn?

As Bruce noted, brief installation or operational references to this item show up in a number of Wireless Manuals, but was all of this ever consolidated into one publication issued with the Switchboards?

I’ve never come across one. I do find this charging board is pretty intuitive in its use and hook up with everything cleanly labeled.

Thanks, Jordan.

They do look very straight forward. Finding one is on my B-List for the 52-Set Project eventually.

It's not like the army to not produce a manual, even for the simplest of things. But I agree with Jordan, I have never seen one. It is spoken to in several radio manuals and installation instructions so maybe that's it.

An interesting sidebar. My British panel is a restoration. It had spent its post-war life in the UK at a carnival where it operated the amusement lights and power to the rides which was apparently a common use for them there. Here in Canada they just don't seem to have survived in any quantity.

The only place in Canada I ever saw them for sale was Electronic Surplus in Parry Sound back in the late 70’s. I still have one of their catalogs somewhere.

One of the mysteries in their catalog was a canvas bag of cable clamps for ‘the Fox’. Had no clue what that was in those days.
