Best regards,

The Canadian Army did approach PYE about producing a speaker for the 19 set. Quote was only a few £ (pounds, quid) per speaker. At that price it must have been only a box, speaker and maybe matching xfmr. They must have thought this was adequate enough volume to be useful. If you're not broadcasting to the neighbourhood you don't need much power.

Thank you Chris and Bruce for your help and comments . Mystery solved gents . I had a two line telephone wire between the loudspeaker and the control box droplead and the speaker works fine on the A set and the IC . No need for an amplifier . Just plug the wires in the terminals at the bottom of the loudspeaker box . They are marked No 19 set …… I guess i could not go wrong . No more «*@@&{}#*^ tight headsets for me !

My friend Yves has finished making the control panels for the generators . Wow , so close to original ! Sourcing the parts was not easy . Bakelite or it’s modern equivalent , Phenolic is very expensive and difficult to source . Thanks again to Reg Hodgson for the electrical diagram .

Behind the generator electrical control panel i am installing .Panel all wired up. It’s easy when everythink is all marked with codes as on the plan / diagram I will be looking for a smaller electrical box eventualy .

New battery and new gas tank installed today . Still working on sourcing brake parts . Now that i know they are Ford certainly helps. Thank you friends . Made an order with Mac’s .Went to pick up the newly overhauled radiator with new core .

OK Chevy / Ford Blitz fans out there : Why two sizes ( width ) of brake excentric washers on these trucks ? I noticed of course that the rear shoes are way larger but that does not explain everything . Bob Carriere posted that they are 2 dfferent part numbers . That must mean something .

Are the thickness of the shoes the same or I’d assume match the thickness of these brass pieces?
