'F' Rod Aerial Container WS No.19 ZA.29556
Well continuing in the wireless vein, we have one of the containers for the 'F' Rods that were used with the No.19 Set. (Possibly some others also)
There are a couple of different styles that I'm aware of so far, the one I acquired has no ground spike or base mount in/on the the removable end cap. There was also no webbing for the hammer although the hardware is on the tube. Makes sense, why would you want a ground spike and hammer for a tank; whereas a ground station or radio truck would want these items as they are often stationary which allows more complex attenea.
Here is my version of 4 'F' Rods, a 'G' Rod and an Aerial Container ZA.29556
Tubes is brass, brass hardware, working cap not exactly proto sort of reversed, carrying strap, hammer straps I had to sort of fudge it no clear reference yet, 'F' Rods are 3/8" brass tubing with turn to lock M/F they a not exact as the No.2 Rod doesn't taper, 'G' Rod is 1/4" brass rod, the copper bulb on the end of the brass piece is the turn and lock fitting for the Aerial Base No.10 from Armorpax that will go on the Sherman Ic. Not to much stock stuff in this one.
Well maybe the lads........... and the jeep ........... and the buildings .............
Spare Aerial Container ZA.29556
Aerial Rods
'G' Rod in the foreground, joint in the 2 'F' Rods is about 1/2" below his pinky.
'F' Rods
My female mount for the No.10 base, the bulb is visible and there is a 1/2" long pin for mounting. Brass rod is so I don't loose it.
Early style rod ends
Canadian modified rod ends
Hammer webbing, carrying strap, buckle and attachment.
Aerial Container end cap with ground spike and removable aerial base mount.
Thank for lookin.
Next.................. the many ways of putting up a 34' mast aerial. 'D' Rods, more 'F' Rods, 20' telescopic mast and 34' telescoping mask.
