[Qcwa] Hand Generators

[Joseph Fenn]

Dont know if we talkin about the same thing or not,  but when was
Sophomore in Kokomo High I joined the Indiana National Guard
Battery B 150th F.A. 155 mm Howitzers as a RO of course.
We had that old SCR something or other with the portable(?)
radio (about 20 lbs) not includeing the Generator and its platform.
Of course the only source of power was the biggest guy we could
find in the company (a real brute) who enjoyed his display of
physical prowess by cranking that thing.   Key down he would grimace
a little but smile at the same time.    Not only that but when
the 155 howitzer went off about 25 feet away from us I kinda ruined
my underwear a few times.
(a long dash from the O.P. was the signal for the Lt to drop his
 arm and the guy on the other side pulled the fireing rope)
                   Joe (aka kilroy)
