Bordsprechkasten : need information

[RTY]

Hello.

I need information about the box "bordsprechkasten" that germans used for communicating inside their tanks, such as "Tiger", "Panther" and others.

It would be grateful to get detailed photos, schemes, cirquits.

Do you mean the entire communications system on these tanks? There were several different configurations. I will list their codes tonight.

Of course, the entire communication system is also interesting to me, extremely Panther' system.

The "bordsprechkasten" is interesting as a heart of communication system.

[Yuri D.]

There were multiple "Kastens" onboard any particular tank. I will post a few diagrams.

I mean "bordsprechkasten" as shown there:

AH, OK

That's the headphone / microphone switch - to communicate with different crew members inside the tank.

I'll see if I can dig up a few photos.

I have looked through my files but have not come up with anything on these switching devices. Have you enquired with Jacques Littlefield? He is a TANK collector here in the Bay Area. I have been to his estate and saw some of his 230 vehicles (including 2 SCUD missle launchers). All I can say is that I wish I had the resources to collect like that.
