Trade Specifications Volume 9 - Radar and Fire Control System Trades

Contents of this Volume

This volume includes: Control Equipment Artificer Group 4 (proposed), 1954 Control Equipment Technician Group 1 & 2 & 3 (proposed), 1954 Fire Control System Artificer Group 4, 1954 Fire Control System Technician (Anti-aircraft) Group 1 & 2 & 3, 1954 Radar Technician, 1954

Introduction

RCEME Trades 1944-2020, A Reference Guide summarizes the trades that were part of RCEME when the Corps was formed in 1944, and follows the development, amalgamations, changes, and history from that time to the four trades that are part of RCEME today. During the research for that document, many trades specifications and standards were found in the Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and other repositories. These were used to prepare a thumbnail history of each trade in the main reference, but space precluded the inclusion of the complete trade specification and/ or standard.

This “Trades Specifications” series supports the main document and includes the original trade specifications and references as they were found at the LAC and elsewhere. This is a source document for researchers. In general, the raw photographs of the LAC file pages have been converted to a searchable .pdf file. No attempt has been made to reformat the contents of the original files.

Guide to the Series

Because of the size of some of the files, the trades have been separated into several volumes, each containing the specifications for a group of trades. The series consists of:

Volume 1 - Aircraft Trades

Volume 2 - Armourer, Armament, and Weapons Technician Trades Volume 3 - Body and Tire Repair Trades

Volume 4 - Driver and Driver Mechanic Trades

Volume 5 - Electrical Trades

Volume 6 - Instructor Trades

Volume 7 - Instrument Trades

Volume 8 - Metals, Machinist, and Welding Trades Volume 9 - Radar and Fire Control System (1950s) Trades Volume 10 - Radio and Telecommunication Trades Volume 11 - Recovery Mechanic Trades

Volume 12 - Vehicle Repair Trades

Volume 13 - Other Trades

Volume 14 - Trade Reviews

Volume 15 - Post-Unification Trades

Volume 16 - RCEME Trades in 2020

Source Documents

This is a supporting reference for RCEME Trades 1944-2020, A Reference Guide. The list of sources for the main document is reproduced below. Where possible, the source document (or a relevant excerpt) has been scanned and placed on the RCEME Historical Database. Sometimes, a copy may be on the Internet Archive. One location of the primary document is included - there may be other copies in existence.

Primary sources include:

Instructions Regarding Trades Tests and Tradesmen’s Rates of Pay, Canadian Army (Overseas), 1943. A copy is available in the Canadian War Museum under the call reference UB 337 157 CWM Ref Tech 1943. Short reference in this document: [Trades 1943]. This document does not relate trades to a specific Corps. The relationship to RCOC(E) and later RCEME is inferred.

Instructions Regarding Trades Tests and Trades Testing, Canadian Army, 1944. Queens Printer, 1944. A copy is available in the Canadian War Museum under the call reference UB 337 C2 15 CWM Ref Tech 1944. Short reference in this document: [Trades 1944]. This reference had two major amendments: AL 1 dated 1 January 1945, and AL 2 (not dated), both included in the reference. This reference relates to the Canadian Army as a whole, and not just the Canadian Army Overseas. The assignment of trades to Corps includes RCEME, which is evidence that it was updated after the formation of CEME/RCEME.

Canadian Army Routine Order (CARO) No. 4230 dated 15 March 1944. The Annexes to this CARO (and subsequent CAROs that amended CARO 4230) detailed the units and trades that were to be transferred to the new Corps of RCEME. The Canadian War Museum has a set of CARO.

Canadian Army Routine Order No. 6579 dated 20 May 1946. This was the first major postwar regrouping of Army trades and classification of tradesmen. A copy is available in the Canadian War Museum under the call reference Ref Tech Folio UB 505 C2 A7. Short reference in this document: [CARO 6579 (1946)].

Canadian Army Order No. 269-1 dated 8 April 1947. This order amplified and clarified[CARO 6579 (1946)] and is part of the new Canadian Army Orders series that replaced the Canadian Army Routine Orders in 1947. A copy is available in the Canadian War Museum under the call reference Ref Tech UB 507 A6 S8. It also announced that a new publication “Canadian Army Trades Tests 1946” would be issued, (which has not been found). Short reference in this document: [CAO 269-1 (1947)].

Canadian Army Order No. 269-1 dated 22 August 1949. Trades Designations, Groupings of Trades, Responsibility for Training and Corps Affiliation. This replaced and updated [CAO 269-1 (1947)]. It also assigned trades to specific Corps. A copy is available in the Canadian War Museum under the call reference Ref Tech UB 507 Аб 58. Short reference in this document: [CAO 269-1 (1949)]. This reference was amended in CAO 269-1 dated 6 February 1950, which is included as part of this source.

Canadian Army Order No. 269-1 dated 27 November 1950. Trades Designations, Groupings of Trades, Responsibility for Training and Corps Affiliation. This replaced and updated [CAO 269-1 (1949)]. A copy is available in the Canadian War

Museum under the call reference Ref Tech UB 507 A6 S8. Short reference in this document: [CAO 269-1 (1950)].

Canadian Army Order No. 269-1 dated 5 May 1952. Trades Designations, Groupings of Trades, Responsibility for Training and Corps Affiliation. This replaced and updated [CAO 269-1 (1950)]. A copy is available in the Canadian War Museum under the call reference Ref Tech UB 507 A6 S8. Short reference in this document: [CAO 269-1 (1952)].

There would appear to have been an update to CAO 269-1 in 1954, but the CWM does not have a copy of that CAO - DHH might.

Canadian Army Manual of Trades and Specialties. This detailed the Canadian Army trade standards and specifications and replaced the Canadian Army Trades Tests series. The manual seems to have come into effect by CAO 225-52 dated 18 November 1957. There is apparently no CAO 269-1 after that date. The RCEME trades extracted from this document are dated in the late 1950s and early 1960s. A copy is available in the Canadian War Museum under the call reference Ref Tech UB 337 C2 C3 n.d. This reference is not complete. A complete version may exist at DHH (apparently not). Short reference in this document: [CAMTS].

Files in the Library and Archives, Canada (LAC). There are files in the LAC on many of the RCEME trades in the 1950s and early 1960s. These files have been reviewed and the specific file reference is contained in Annex A for the specific trade in question. See also the Army Trades Committee paragraph below. Short reference in this document: [LAC - file reference].

A specific file at the LAC is RG24-C-1-a, Volume 2165, File HQS-54-27-35-320, Trades Training & Tests - RCEME - Policy 1944-1947. It is not complete, but provides documentary evidence of the DEME position on the creation and elimination of some trades. Where other official confirmation has not been found (e.g. in the Army Trades Committee files), this file has been accepted as an authority. Short reference in this document: [LAC - Policy - Training of Tradesmen, RCEME]

Army Trades Committee and Army Trades Committee Sub-committee files at the LAC. A specific series of files at the LAC are the minutes of the Army Trades Committee and Army Trades Committee Sub-committee from about 1950 to 1965. They are best located by using the LAC search engine. The minutes give the approval (and date) for trade actions, and are often accompanied by supporting documentation such as trades specifications. Short reference in this document: [LAC - ATC and LAC - ATCSC]. The Directorate of History and Heritage also has a copy of some of these files. Between DHH and the LAC, there should be a complete set.

Files in the RCEME Archives. The RCEME archives, currently located at the RCEME School, have a few trades files. Most date from the early 1960s. There is a separate list ing of all the files in the RCEME archives. Short reference in this document: [RCEME Archives].

Bennett, Thomas J. Skill at Arms, A History of Canadian Army Trades including their Badges and Parachute Wings. Bunker to Bunker Books, Calgary, AB, 2005. The book appears to be out of print. A copy is in the Canadian War Museum Library under the call number UC 535 C3 B458 2005. Short reference in this document: [Skill at Arms]. It is an outstanding reference work, and was used heavily in the creation of the first draft of this document. However, unfortunately it does not link to primary

sources, and has been replaced as a source document as primary sources become available. That said, few discrepancies have been found, and I have full confidence in this book as a source. It was my primary reference for relating the badges worn by the trades.

RCEME Historical Database. Documents of general and specific interest to RCEME have been placed on a Google drive, part of which is shared with the public. All files in the public section of the database can be downloaded. The database can be accessed through the history and heritage tab on the Corps of RCEME website. Supporting documentation is in the RCEME Complete Digital Archives on the same Google Drive. The supporting documentation (such as the raw document scans) is not available to the general public, but can be requested from the RCEME Historian if required. Short reference in this document: [RCEME Historical Database].

RCEME Trades Source Documents at the LAC (Postwar and Pre-Unification)

The following Policy of Training and Qualifications files have been located at the LAC. All files have been reviewed and relevant details, including trades specifications, have been photographed and a pdf file of the information has been created and placed on the RCEME Historical Database. In general, the information contained in the files is limited to a copy of the draft trades standard. It is a disappointing source, but provides an index to the trades that were in existence.
