The relay in the higher right corner has been added by someone for functions unknown, in all probability a receiver muting relay to be used with a transmitter. The P-8022 control head above was often used with the “one piece” set up shown above it, but not with the unique T-69-20A installations, which used separate control heads for transmitter and receiver. The Motorola P-374-A control head physical look is unknown; it’s just like other Cruiser heads but has a squelch on/off swap and mechanical volume control knob. The later variations of these sets used the P-8022 management head for both receiver and transmitter features while earlier used the separate heads of each part. Somewhat frequent. The squelch control was moved to the front panel and supplied with a knob, in contrast to previous variations, where it was positioned behind a plug button on the aspect of the housing, control cable as proven on the P-69-13 above. Case model in front is barely different from others; holes for alignment factors are present a big handle is mounted on the entrance panel (evidently it was thought this new “UHF” set would wish extra frequent service !) Used then-new 1853 (6AB7) VHF tube as RF amplifier. There were different antenna designs, which had been unsuccessful, similar to a trombone formed affair which mounted underneath the auto running board on the driver’s aspect, on insulated spacers, or the front bumper being used as an antenna by completely rubber-insulating it from the remainder of the auto chassis.
The “screen” antenna was far superior to all different sorts, however disappeared into historical past when vehicles started being manufactured with all metallic roofs (referred to as “turret top” automobiles.) . Firstly, he drew back on the management-bar, and the ornithopter started to climb, increased than his target. As Jedburgh closed, his goal lurched and shifted earlier than him. But at that moment, he noticed a flickering spark seem upon the dirigible’s gondola, and he impulsively shifted the steering-bar apart. One platform solely mounted a T-69-20A transmitter and its energy supply within the trunk, with no receiver (which was still dash mounted, thus probably not a “one piece” set.) The original platforms typically contained legs to permit them to be suspended in the auto trunk, subsequent to or above the spare tire. Dash it, thought Jedburgh, the fellow may have been made to play the melodrama hero. Noble had observed the GE FM equipment but didn’t like it, as a substitute selecting Link to manufacture tools to his specs.
The primary large system to use FM was the Connecticut State Police radio system, in operation by summer time 1940, with tools built and designed by Fred M. Link Radio Co. beneath supervision of Professor Daniel Noble, guide. This had the disadvantage that in instances the place the receiver was a low frequency type, full duplex operation was not attainable. The -SP2 modification contains the -SP1 modification, but also allows trunk mounting of P-69-18 by including a cable connector box (see photograph under) which permits the receiver to interchange with a Deluxe Line FMR-13V VHF FM receiver and be appropriate with an FMTR-30D radio accessory set. See typical T69-20A installation photograph under. There was additionally a “giant” cell speaker, featured within the photograph of the transmitter set up proven later on this web page. The picture below exhibits an early P-69-17 with the identical control head as the other Police Cruisers which had been crystal controlled. Shure postwar CB-12 model found with the management head as proven. Produced no less than via 1949. The knobs are the same as shown on the P-69-12 above. Old images present the display, about the size of a ping-pong paddle, mounted horizontally on insulators above the rear fender. The original microphone used with the above management head would have had a straight cord, and would have had a extra flush-showing, “push up to talk” button which recognized the earliest Shure Mfg.
Among the earliest postwar 2-means California Highway Patrol installations started out with a Police Cruiser receiver, and added both Motorola and RCA 39 Megacycle VHF FM transmitters later, within the case of the RCA by modifying the RCA control head to function the P-69-18 Motorola receiver ! Intended as the companion to the T-69-20A VHF AM transmitter in all “UHF” 2-means systems. These have been used primarily by small cities which didn’t want long range or inter-operability with state and county systems. FM began for use extensively in 1940. GE had sold and installed a small VHF FM system for a sheriff’s division early in the 12 months. This management head was primarily used with the “Deluxe” line of FM tools, introduced in late 1940. Also be aware that coiled microphone cords are a postwar improvement. The management head solely managed the transmitter; the receiver retained its own control head . The SP-2 is already wired this manner and was primarily supposed to facilitate the addition of a transmitter to the cellular set up and placement of the receiver in the automobile trunk compartment.
