Not so, British tanks and US too a little later had slave starting sockets during the War. Loyd TSC carriers came with slave leads to suit these sockets.

Where is the slave cable socket on an M4? I've never heard it mentioned before, and I just read over the M4 Sherman Minutae site researching M4A2 Tank "Bomb" for the wikipedia page.

Terry, when it was introduced, it was put in a new box with the two master switches which were moved up from the battery box closer to the driver's left shoulder.

Thanks for the correction on my misapprehension, and for the details. I even received a photo privately.

That's a switchbox from a late tank but the socket is the same in all US tanks. British tanks and hence the Loyd slave lead used a rectangular socket in the main switchbox.

Pete,
Here is IWM film of elements of 8th AB entraining at Newmarket for the south coast in preparation for D-Day. https://film.iwmcollections.org.uk/record/2170 Amongst the vehicles is a Loyd TS&C (confirmed by census number) which carries the same markings as the Shermans, Valentines and Crusader AAs- ie Div/Brigade sign, AoS square with unit number and Squadron sign As an aside, interesting to see the 17 Pdrs on the Fireflies covered by tarps. Simon
