The fuse holders are from scrounged obsolete fuse panels and the fuses are from the hardware store . I use a standard built 12 X 12 inch electrical box with a cover that opens to the right You then punch out the holes as needed .I will admit this control panel is the most challenging part of the generator system restoration . You will understand the wiring of all this when you get the nice enlarged diagram i sent you by mail yesterday . It’s not for the faint of heart so to speak , it is complicated .The little switch on the bottom right is just a standard flip switch . It ´s neat function is to source the power from the two battery banks to start a generator . You get twice the amperage for start up . Don’t forget to switch it off when not starting as the warning says «* on for starting only «* The normal position is «*off*» .

Control panel
Currently working on making control panels . Have the Bakelite panels now . Had found the stove switches and fuse holders / brackets as previously said . This is what the control panel looks like on a software used in engraving . Something neat i had not noticed before is that the amperage of the fuses was engraved behind them on the panel . Makes sense . I did not know because i had always had a look at panels with fuses on them thus blocking the view .

old stove switches
Interestingly enough , our C-5 Canadian charging panels were controlled by stove like snap switches . The generator and battery control panel in the Wire -5 trucks used the same switches . They were common commercialy available parts in the 30s and 40s . With a little fiddling this one will become a control panel switch in the near future . Stay tuned .
