> Specifically Navy jeep models CVD-10182-D and CVD-10466 appear on the

> Manuals (TM9-803,  TM9-1803A, TM9-1830B and TM9-1925B), which
> Maintenance Manual Supplement  includes both the 12 and 24 volt version

> They both use Vehicular Modification Kit MX-735/MR with the Auto-Lite
> waterproof ignition system per the Parts Catalog for MX-735/MR dated 1
> April 1947.  Both CVD numbers appear on the cover of that parts catalog,
>  so the Auto Lite waterproofed deep fording jeep is common to both CVD

> I know the Navy TCS with the 211330 power supply was used with the 24v

> All of the AN/MRC-5A, 6A, 7A and 8A radio sets used 12v in the
> CVD-10182-D.
