| Wireless for the Warrior - Volume 2 | Supplement No. 8 |
Generator , hand, 10 watts, Mk.II
was designed to supply LT, HT and GB for Wireless Sets No.48 and No.18.
The generator set is principally comprised of the generator with two cranks, two straight front legs and a folding rear leg with seat.
Figure 48-12 in Volume 2 of Wireless for the Warrior shows all the component parts.
It must be noted that there is an error in the nomenclature of the straight legs.
This error is not only in the component parts picture but also in the component parts list printed in the original No.48 Set manual.

Robert Downs WA5CAB who reported this error, wrote the following to clear the situation:
...on the Wireless Set No. 48 page the nomenclature of the straight legs is incorrect.
The folding leg is LG-2 (steel), LG-2-A (aluminum in early '41 then back to steel in '42) and LG-2-B (aluminum)
in late '43.
The straight leg is LG-3 (steel) then LG-3-B (aluminum) in late '43 with the easing of the aluminum shortage
in the US...
...the post-war legs, besides being made for the AN/GRC-9 (GN-58-A) were also used with the AN/TRC-7 (G-3B/TRC-7)
and the MX-898/GR (G-8/GR for several sets that included RT-66, 67, 68 or 70). Cut off, they were used with the RS-6 and AN/GRC-109 (both with GN-58-A). In the late 50's, the G-43/G came along to replace the GN-58-A and for what ever reason, they built a tripod mount for it,
which also fit the later G-77/G. So as far as I know, the last generator built that used LG-2-B and LG-3-B was the G-8A/GR.
The GN-45-A or -B of SCR-284 used the same LG-2 and LG-3 as did all the other radio hand crank generators built before,
during and immediately after the War (except for GN-54 which used three LG-3's and no LG-2)....
