Description: | The Continuous Wave 30 Watt Trench Wireless Set was developed in 1917 and, because of its greater range, was to have superseded the 50 Watt Wireless Set. Difficulties in supplying both production material and trained personnel meant that it did not replace the 50 Watt Wireless Set. However, it did see considerable use with the British Artillery during 1917-18, and by some Divisional Signals Units. It was especially suitable for forward observation units when it was used with 4ft masts working to a Headquarters Station with 50ft masts. The 30 Watt Wireless Set was one of the early operational sets to use valves. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
