1953

at some point the color coded system was dropped and a number system, was instituted, along with this change, the brake lights were deleted. (at least on the A3 shermans). unfortunately the 1954 manual does not include a wire schedule. and I don't believe anyone has ever found a universal schedule to explain all the numbers.

armor harness

most armored vehicles used woven brass flex conduit with a "garden hose" fitting soldered on the end. the electrical connection was usually a bakelight connector with very small set screws for the wire. and a slide fitting over the set screw section.
