The Lorry 3 Ton Command High Power was a 60-cwt Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck built during the Second World War. Used by RC Sigs at Corps and Div HQs to carry high power wireless equipment for staff communication with flanking Corps, Divs and armoured car regiments under command.
The inside was divided into two compartments, one for staff officers (seats 5) and the other for crew (seats 3). The vehicle could also be used as a Signals Office when the penthouse could be set up.
Equipment during the Second World War included one Wireless Set No. 19, one Wireless Set No. 53, one Reception Set R107, a Generating Set 3 KVA (Onan), a rectifier and batteries.
