Wanted: 19 Set Ground Spike

[kevin powles]

Hi, Looking for a 19 set ground spike insulated top, with clamp as featured in the bottom part of this photo, any condition.


Thanks kevin.

A propos your post...although all else appear to be WS No 19 related, the spike above the insulator is for a C42 set.

Or, maybe since C42s were made by Plessey, that spike might be part of a Clansman radio kit.

FWIW.

This is the 19 set ground spike and insulator.

Thanks kevin.

The kit shown in the first picture is for a WS No.19 as well as, 22, maybe a 9, 52.
The set is for a 34' D' Rods Antenna, this set is the British alternative for which the 34'/20' Canadian Antenna/Mast were developed to replace in 43/44. Comes with, 'D' Rods, spike, insulator, stays, plates, reamer, spares, pins, 'F' Rod adapter and a canvas 'golf' bag to carry it all in.

Hi, I need item 10, Insulator, but only really need the clamp part on top of the insulator, so one with a damaged insulator is also fine.

Perhaps the photo's been changed since posted - if not... the Spike above the insulator is correct for the insulator - it may have been used with the C42 (cannot comment there as know nothing about that radio) - but was definitely used with the WS19.

That is the ground spike and insulator associated with the 34ft telescopic mast, most commonly associated with the WS52.

Though... perhaps there is a significant difference between aerial masts used by the Canadian Army versus those used by the British army.

Yup - WW2 British Army wireless mast - used with WS19, WS22 and others.
