Compendium 1 "Spark to Larkspur"
(Wireless Sets 1910-1948)

Compendium 2 "Spark to Larkspur" (Special Sets, Receivers and Larkspur) is divided into five main sections and sub-divided into chapters by application, operational use, range or family of sets, and date of introduction.


Compendium 3 and 4 "Foreign Equipment Data Sheets" (Part 1 and Part 2) contains a facsimile reprint of a German World War 2 publication entitled 'Signal Equipment' ('Nachrichtengerät'), also known as D50/13. The publication is Volume 13 in the 'Foreign Equipment Data Sheets' ('Kennblätter fremden Geräts'), a series of German Army publications providing data on enemy equipment, principally from Belgium, England, France, North America, Russia and Switzerland.

Compendium 5 is a facsimile reprint of 'Signal Communication Equipment used by Enemy Nations', a British publication providing technical and operational data on captured enemy signal communication equipment originating from Germany, Italy and Japan. It was produced by the Signals Research and Development Establishment (SRDE) in co-operation with M.I. 8 and first issued as a secret document in January 1944.

 

Compendium 6 is a facsimile reprint of 'Notes On Equipment' a modern reprint of a 1944 document issues by the Training Establishment, Royal Army Ordnance Corps, F Branch, which was based at Donnington in Shropshire. Notes on Equipment, Volume IV, was titled Signal and Wireless Stores, and was intended to give Stores personnel a grounding in the line and radio equipment used by the wartime army.

How to obtain documents.

Nearly all the documents in the manuals section lists are protected by individual passwords to minimise the possibility of abuse. If you wish to obtain copies of any documents, you must submit a request using the form below.  Members of The Wireless-Set-No19 Group may request up to 6 documents in any 14 day period, non-members are limited to just 1 document and must sign up to become a member of The Wireless-Set-No19 Group if further documents are wanted.

You will be asked for your Member ID (if you're a member of The Wireless-Set-No19 Group) and if you're not a member please leave this set to NO, your email address and the red document numbers for the documents you want. The red document numbers must be in ascending numerical order. Members please note that your Yahoo ID must not be an email address and the email address you enter must be the one with which you registered for the Group. Just to make you aware that Yahoo some times refers to your ID as a "Yahoo! Profile", it is the name you gave yourself when you signed up for Yahoo and our group.

Our documents are available for personal study and research by people interested in the history of military communications technology and not for commercial purposes. Unfortunately we've detected many attempts to download large quantities of documents, often from free "disposable" email addresses, so we've had to ban such addresses. You will find that free email addresses will not be accepted. Please use your ISP-supplied email address.
Members of The Wireless-Set-No19 Group should note that if you registered on the Group with a free email address, such as "Yahoo" or any other free email address, you will have to change it to your ISP-supplied address before attempting to apply for documents.

You must not have multiple memberships of the Wireless-Set-No19 group, having multiple membership accounts will result in an error when you make a request and will result in you not being able to request documents.

If your request has been completed correctly, you will be sent an email containing a link to access each requested document and an individual password for each document. Note that these links may not be "clickable" and if you encounter problems, the first thing to try is to copy and paste the complete link into your browser. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader Version X (10) or later to open the documents successfully (it's free - click here to download it). When you try to open a document, a Password box will appear - do NOT try to type the password from our email into the password box. To ensure success, copy the password from our email and paste it into the Acrobat password box. Save the document somewhere and ALWAYS save our email, so you'll be able to find the password again.

Please allow up to 24 hours for the email to be sent to you. If nothing arrives within that time, the first thing you should do is to check your "spam" box in case our email has been put there by your spam filtering service or program. If you've made a mistake, you will normally receive an email containing an error message within the same period.

Do not under any circumstances post a message to the group asking for help or for documents.
Contact us at the Wireless-Set-No19 List Owner email address for assistance only as a last resort!

Please fill out this form to request both the passwords and download links

Please enter your name
Are you a member of our group? If you're a member enter the Yahoo ID
you used to join our group. If you're not a member, just leave as NO
Note that Yahoo ID is sometimes referred to as "Yahoo! Profile" by Yahoo!
Your e-mail address, if you're a member you MUST
use the e-mail address you have registered for the group.
Use the email address your ISP provides you with!

Remember - the system will check the Member ID and the email address against the Yahoo Groups
membership list, so you must enter them correctly, and no free email addresses are allowed. Please be careful NOT to have multiple memberships of our Yahoo group as this will result in the system rejecting any requests you make.

Now you need to enter the document number for each document you are requesting. The document numbers are shown in RED beside
the document entries on the listing pages and your entries must be in ascending document number order or the request will be rejected.

Please enter only the document number you wish to request. Request No.1 -
Request No.2 -
Request No.3 -
Request No.4 -
