Some of the following instruments have been confirmed as being used in HAIDA's EMR or by the RCN in the EMR's of other ships. As usual, if anyone can help to fill in the blanks, do not hesitate to contact the web master.
Jim Brewer, who served in the Chaudiere, recalls tube tester useage
aboard his ship. " We used a Stark tube tester that was portable and also
had a larger version which remained in the EMR. There were three tube testers
in the ship. One was used by the radio/radar technicians, one by Sonar
and the weapons technicians held the third one. A lot of the tech's had
their own Simpson meters which were bought as kits and assembled by them.
I still have mine".
