Ford GPW Mallory under dash Radio Noise Filter

Hello,

I was able to get this Ford GPW Radio Noise Filter unit from a G seller a few months ago, and wanted to post some pictures of the data plate.
It is a little hard to get a clear picture from this one, but here is what it says.

From what I understand this particular filter is hard to locate, and was used only a short period on the GPWs.
I am not sure but I am thinking usage in late 1942 ??

Now for an added interest,
I also have a Mallory Willys MB filter that appears exactly the same except for the GPW has a brass data plate, and the Willys one is metal.

I haven't seen many of these around or for sale, but I managed to get these 2 filter units for future projects as all are missing from my jeeps.

People must have been fascinated with these mysterious boxes and removed them to investigate, but seldom replaced them back under the dash !


I hope these help some G members with their quest for Radio filters,
it is always fun locating these items :D .


Best Regards,
Ray
