How To: New Wire-5 project (Bergeron)

[Robert Bergeron]

Here is a nice wartime pic of the elusive Onan 110/12 Volts 10LS generator that equiped some Wire -5 trucks and some HUW shop truck versions.Here it is being used to charge 6 Volts wireless set batteries in series using it’s 12 V output.It is noteworthy to say that all Wire-5 trucks were hard wired for 110 Volts but only those actualy fitted with a Canadian No 19HP set or the British No 19 HP version or in post-war with a No 52 set were they equiped with the Onan .Photo NA 12960 Imperial War Museum collection .
