This was not the official secret radio. I worked on the official radio with Sid Clifton in stalag 383 for over 2.5 years taking down the shorthand at over 140 words per minute, It was a three valve set in a converted portable record player. We then dictated it to an australian who had the most beautiful 'copper-plate' handwriting I have ever seen. his hand-written sheets were then pressed on to a hectograph (made out of lime and apple jellies) and then over 30 copies were made and distributed to each company in the camp.
I have told this to Kerry Single of New Zealand I have sketched the radio in my book
