Dean...Bruce beat me to it.

Further, ZA 2952 goes over the Power Supply and Transceiver only, usually mounted on the Carrier No 21 in AFVs, whereas ZA 10317 goes over the Power Supply, Transceiver and side mounted Variometer, all mounted on the Carrier No 23.

Where are you getting all this neat stuff?

Bruce,

Thanks for identifying the ZA18471.

I attached a photo from cover ZA41530 , maybe that clearifies the matter.
On the top of the cover are two "chimneys", most likely meant for putting through two antenna's.
The cover is larger in all directions compared to ZA18471, so I don't think it is from a 19-set.

Default Cover No.29

I have a No.29 cover and have been trying to figure out what wireless set it was used on for years...without success (it's not for a Canadian 29 set). My cover has a Canadian RCEME paper tag wired to it that has 'Ferret' written on it in pencil. Could it be for a 42 set? Naww, those were sealed and didn't need a canvas waterproof cover.

Default 19 Set radio cover - ZA - 10317

To build on this thread -

I have a cover - PC - 64418 - c, ZA-10317

I am entertaining the idea of sending it to Irfan to have some copies made up.

But it seems like there is a whole sub-culture of WS-19 canvas covers out there.

I am looking for a cover for the side-by -side version as used in AFVs or Mk1 carriers.

If I can track down a copy, or good drawings, I am willing to send mine over as a sample for types of fabric, zips, snaps, gussets, etc.

If one can be made up for a reasonable cost, what kind of interest would there be in getting a fresh reproduction?

Default Ws 19 cover

Guys,

Looking for confirmation. I made a plywood mock up of the rear shelves of my Lynx to store a 19 set and some of the associated gear that I got last year. It will probably be several years before it actually goes into the Lynx, but all this talk about canvas covers has me wondering about the one that came with the kit. The number stenciled on the cover is "P.C. 90816C". Can anyone tell me if this is the appropriate cover for my installation?

Thanks, Peter

Talking with another MLUer about 19 set covers, he asked whether I knew what 19 set cover was used in a Mk.II carrier. I can't recall ever seeing one in use or even in a sketch. For a lark, I took my Cover No.29 out to my Mk.I carrier to see if it would fit a 19 set located in the front of the rear right compartment, tight up against the division plate. The cover is exactly the right depth and height, but about an inch too wide...however the top of the cover is fiber board so could be meant to rest on either side (the engine cover on the left and the rolled lip on the right) making a shelter for the set. In a Mk.II 19 set installation the set has the supply unit stacked on the sender/receiver and the variometer is above that so any cover would not rest on the set itself.

The Cover No.29 has two vinyl tubes on the top that would be for the A and B aerial leads and there are three openings at the back that match the ones needed for the control unit 12 point cables.

Is the Cover No.29 possibly for a Mk.II Bren Carrier?

Could any one please let me know what cover ZA19218 PC99674 went over and
for which vehicle. It is very similar to ZA1076 PC 90674C but only has two sleeves for the aerial rods and no straps at the back to attache it.
Thanks Stephen
