WS19 size? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi,

(I originally put this in Components & Circuits in a fit of misadventure, but hope that here I'll get some help!)

Does anyone know the dimensions of the standard mounting for a WS19? It seems to have been a standard for several types of military kit but my searches only tell me about the WS19 set! I'd really like a drawing of the mounting.....

Thanks,

Hi,

Have a look at:-

http://k4che.com/WS19/WS19Mount/WS19Mount.htm

It is not dimensioned but gives an idea of the general arrangement.

I don't have access to a 19 set just now to take any measurements from.

There are various mounting kits depending on the type of installation. Each set was supplied as a two item kit, the radio & accessories and the mounting kit.

The most common was the ground mount that was on a wooden board with carry handles. This would be used in the back of a signal lorry or quickly moved to a tent or dugout.

The jeep mount would have a different bolt pattern than a carrier or tank.

I still have the wooden mount ( I think it is carrier # 23) so can give dimension fot that.

So far I have seen references to Carrier, Set, Number 21, Number 22 and Number 23. Assuming they are all different but for the same WS19 set, how would they vary? The No.21 seems to have rubber shock mounts, is the wooden board of No.23 a plain board or a box?
ISTR seeing pictures of a mounting installed in an armoured vehicle, comms lorry or similar where there seemed to be a sort of tub similar in shape to the WS19 into which the set fitted. I'm probably barking at the wrong bush......

HI,

On the VMARS site there is an EMER document entitled "Wireless set Cdn No 19 MK III and ancillary equipment. Near the end of the document there are some diagrams showing the component parts of three different set carriers. They all use the basic principal of using canvas straps and "t" shaped brackets that fit in the "key holes" on the set and power unit cases to hold them firmly onto a frame. For vehicle use the carrier frames also have "shock mounts" to secure the frame to the vehicle.
