Ian:

In the latest issue of the AWA tome/collection of articles that they 
offer once a year, there is a very detailed article on the use of 
radio for artillary spotting in WWI with ample detail for a good 
speech. Full details (probably too many) on the BC-14. :-)

If that is not available on-line (go to the AWA website and look in 
their archives: they sometimes post entire articles there), I will be 
happy to copy what I have here and mail it to you.
