Signals Training (All Arms) Pam No.5 - contents?

[Gary_GJK]

Thanks very much for coming back on this query, I kind of lost sight of it myself!

I've got a digital copying order in with the Australian War Memorial for copies of Parts 1 to 3 of Pamphlet No.5, so hopefully will be able to produce something useful from them.

On a related note, does anyone know the contents of the three parts of Pamphlet No.7 - RT Procedure, from 1945?

Part I - RT for users (March 1945)
Part II - RT for operators (May 1945)
Part III - Appendices (May 1945)

I was wondering in particular whether Part I includes any updated detail on unit wireless net diagrams. The only detail I've found for Part III is something on "Net calls in RAC Regiment and SP Atk Btys". There's a wonderfully detailed description of the operation of the 'rear link' tank in Armd Regts in "64 days of a Normandy Summer", the author of which undertook the role for a while. I presume from a few searches today that Part III may discuss this as well.

Thanks,

Gary

Well I have gotten hold of a decent copy of Pamphlet No.7, Part I, March 1945. I've only had a quick scan through it but it should help me understand the procedures I'm interested in.

It appears the example wireless nets are included in Part III, which eludes me for the moment. A couple of collections show on worldcat as holding a copy so I'll see what I can arrange.

I've got the No.7 with three parts and can dig it out to answer some of your questions.

That would be very good of you if you could, a scan of the contents page would be ideal if possible.
