Volume 2 AMENDMENT No. 6
Date of issue: May 2022.

After the publication of ‘Wireless for the Warrior’ Volume 2 ‘Wireless Sets of WW2’, a small number of minor (typing) errors and incorrect
data was spotted. Corrections, additional photos and newly found items are published in ‘Volume 2 Amendments’.

Test unit for Wireless Set No. 19 B.

REMARKS
As these drawings were found without any explanation, it is believed
that they were produced as a guide to the manufacture of an RF
output and modulation test unit for the Wireless Set No. 19 B. The
circuit of the dummy aerial (next page) and red dotted part of the
circuit resembles that of Voltmeter Valve UHF No. 1, described in
WftW Vol. 2 Amendment No. 3.
References The measured values of both RF output (read on the 120µA meter),
- CIEME Drawings, S 1874, not dated. and the modulation AF output (measured with a valve voltmeter)
- Original drawings are held in the archives of the Royal were relative.
