RE: Canuck Armor
I don't know enough on this particular subject for a definitive reply. Here is what I do know, in no particular relationship.
  • British tankers would use a semaphore system for communication.
  • Company/squadron coordination was very good.
  • The No. 19 radio was installed in all tanks in 1942.
  • The Sherman was a jump in communications capability for the British.
  • Robert Crisp (M3/Honey commander) mentioned the intercom system several times in his book, but I don't recall him saying much about a radio.

My conclusion would be that they have a good radio, and a better one later, but it isn't in every tank. Maybe only the platoon/troop commander's tank?
My intended query has more to do with the PG system, rather than history, but both matter.
... More and more, people around the world are coming to realize that the world is flat! Winking
