Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

[David Dunlop]

This particular Tag Panel has been the most challenging to remove so far. It is mounted to the right side of the top rear section of the receiver chassis, on two small metal posts, riveted in place. The two left end capacitors on this Tag Panel are just visible in the upper left corner of the 4th photograph in Post #579.

This Tag Panel is an excellent example of the type of pre-wiring that went into these sub-components, prior to their installation on the receiver chassis on the main production line at Canadian Marconi.

You will notice on the backside of this Tag Panel, several interconnecting leads have been soldered into place, in addition to the mounting of the five capacitors and four resisters.

The brown, phenolic bar, riveted in place at either end on the rear of the Tag Panel, allows the panel to stand away from the receiver chassis plate enough to prevent the interconnecting leads and tag assemblies from making any contact at all with the metal chassis.

Probably not the most entertaining of things to read about regarding the 52-Set, but with the surviving supply of original documentation on the 52-Set what it is, I feel the more information that can be made available, for anyone else, the better, and sooner or later, it is bound to tie in with some other information somewhere else.
