New Equipment |
(a) Generators
6KVA |
| |
|
Although
this equipment has been in use in the Corps for a long time
the Squadron received eight of these generators in November
1964. It has been proved that a 3 1/2KVA generator did not
produce sufficient power to run D11/R230 equipment with the
associated air conditioners; thus a generator with a greater
power output was needed and the 6KVA Coventry Climax generators
provided the answer. The generators are not affected by the
climate and have given NO problems.

|
(b) Cabins
Airtech D11/R230 |
| |
|
The
squadron has three transmitter cabins and three receiver cabins.
The installation is much better than in the 1 ton Austin K9.
The cabins with their running gear will go into most SRT &
MRT transport aircraft which assist the Squadrons airportable
role. (Whereas the Austin 1 ton vehicle will go into BEVERLY
aircraft only.) The equipments have NOT yet been moved by
aircraft but exhaustive tests have been carried out on the
installations, and these have proved very satisfactory.
