The pictures show the FU 12 SE 100 radio set, consisting of the 100 W.S. and the Torn.E.b. In fact, the first picture shows two Torn.E.b receivers side by side. This was probably a regimental HQ radio station. The unit next to the 100 W.S. transmitter is the U100 power supply, the box next to that is a 12 Volt lead-acid battery to feed the transmitter. The transmitter and power supply are pre-war fabricated examples, also judging from the operator's uniform, the picture was taken early in the war.

Thank you very much for your help, Funksammler. :)

Not many people are interested in these issues in this forum.

That, I suspect, is a practical joke! Something for a carnival parade or something built to intimidate the locals. The 750000 Volt is total nonsense, even in high voltage transmission those days they would not go to those sorts of voltages. The battery of valves on top of the maschine are also completely impractical, certainly when driving over a rough road they would all be shaken and broken internally if not simply dropping out of their sockets. No radio would use that many valves anyway... The Antenna also looks like something made up and non functional. This is something made to look like something technically over-the-top but has clearly no practical application. It is a pitty that the eBay seller of the photograph has destroyed the context by not leaving it in the Album it came from, a fate sadly shared by so many photographs these days for the sake of quick profit.....

Image 1 is probably a "Tornister Empfaenger" E 445 Bs
Image 2 shows a three "Tornister Empfaenger" E 445 Bs and a "Tornister Empfaenger b" Torn.E.b on the right. These guys are obviously on a training exercise learning how to operate the receiver. The Torn.E.b was the successor to the Torn.E 445 Bs and was introduced in 1937.
Image 3 shows a Torn.Fu.b1 or Torn.Fu.f tranceiver.

On Image 1 and 3 you can see the prewar three-tone camouflage scheme, so these images war probably taken between 1937 and 1939....

They set up for the long term, look at all the spare batteries in the cabinet: 2B38's on the bottom shelf and 90V Anode batteries on the higher shelves. The operator looks mighty bored as well!

It's American equipment, BC 348 receiver and BC 375 transmitter. The unit on top of the receiver is another tuning unit for the BC 375....

Hi Strum and Funksammler

Thanks for the photo and the information. I didn't think the operator was in a German uniform. So we possibly have an American soldier.
