It is to be hoped that the turning motor safety interlock had been activated when this picture was taken, as the turning acceleration was so great that the airman on the ladder would have been thrown off should the cabin have been activated by the remotely situated underground Radar Operator. When the author took a chance in this respect the cabin moved as he was at the top of the ladder from the ground, when the edge of the running board dislodged him, causing him to slide back down. Happily the only damage was a broken watch strap.

A specially commissioned Type 13 Simulation which will be displayed via your Windows Media Player.

Below is a picture of the Type 14, showing commonality of most parts. This search radar is mounted on a twenty five foot gantry which aids its low-looking capability. It would normally be used rotating continuously, although it could optionally be caused by the operator to sweep back and forth over any chosen sector. The cabin and the equipment inside are entirely the same as the Type 13, and it is merely the reflector position and its shape that makes it different from the Type 13. The additional aerial mounted above the main reflector is for IFF.
