At the remote loca-tions, however, it is necessary to provide the equipment with an outerhousing which gives protection from all kinds of weather and even frommoisture condensation. The opened housing is shown in Fig. 19. Fig. 20shows a typical remote mounting of the housing on the left. In previouselectron tube carrier systems the amount of heat generated by the equip-ment itself was sufficient to pre\ent moisture condensation. In the case
