  1. @Old Bill Do you allow for contraction when making your patters or is this more dependant on size of item?

    Ad's

    Thank you, so much better now 🙂
  3. It does look home made, presumably it is based on a genuine example regarding the serial number. A recent photograph? I shouldn't think there are too many surviving examples of any types now. My examples where in a tax disc holder I purchased some time ago, the book came along later, can't remember where though! There is more text on the back of them.
  4. Still being used in 1964 as I have a copy of C Licence Yearbook 1964 as published by Traders Road Transport Association Ltd. I have one with an expiry date of 1/65. Also three C's and two B's for the same vehicle, different users, that date from 1939 to 1964 I think it may have been superseded by the operators licence?
  5. What about supalux? Promat Supalux 1.22m x 2.4m All Sizes - Shop Online (build4less.co.uk) as an example
  6. I was under the impression that this was an oil dispenser, a parts washer is surely a much more modern item. See page 458 under oil tank manufacturers Post Office Bradford Directory 1887-8 (bradfordfhs.org.uk)
  7. Presumably these never had tongue and groove flooring. All slotted screws, reckon you will hate them by the time you get to the end?
  8. Track Marshall ceased production of crawlers in 1998, see Track Marshall @ The Marshall Club Lots of owners over the years
  9. Thanks Ron, I had no idea these normally ran with no filtration. It doesn't look a great filter compared to a modern paper one, felt doesn't go all the way across as I would expect it too, but it must have done its job. I've never owned a motorbike let alone driven one, so no experience to draw on!
  10. It doesn't look a very efficient filter to me or are some elements not present? How many miles before a rebuild is required?
  11. I don't think I've ever seen a key card before, so thanks for showing. Numbers 3 & 4 make interesting reading as being Lost or stolen, nothing to do with that army major who was mentioned in an earlier thread, be a bit young then! What do the letters S/O stand for? It's probably obvious but not to me. Presumably the other abbreviations are for their respective disposal locations, I see one went to the Federation Army. All a quick search gives for that is the US Army? As for the others what are those organisations? MOS = ministry of supply? MOA = Ministry of Agriculture? BER? MELF? WD = war department? Lots of abbreviations on this card, just a bit curious
  12. Which, gas envelope or overhead cables as per tram? A great choice of picture methinks
  13. This has been tried in the past, cannot remember where but think it was using long leads held up off the ground Antique Tractor Electric - Bing images
  14. Poor electrical connections also generate heat via arcing, presumably there would be other symptoms though
  15. Lots of pictures here Fany WW1 - Bing images
  16. I would advise against the use of oak as the acid(s) within are not conducive to the long term survival of your pride and joy See here What screws do you use in oak? (ehow.co.uk) Corrosion of metals associated with wood - Victoria and Albert Museum (vam.ac.uk)
  17. Cheers for that, just curious as to how it all goes together. All that lovely craftsmanship and then just nailed on, as per back in the day! As its being covered with canvas no one is going to see the heads. The nails aren't driven into through the tongue are they, secret nailed? Is the tongue uppermost and no groove on the lowest board? Are the dowel holes slightly offset so that when the dowels are driven in they pull the tenon into the joint? Haunched mortice and tenons, with a rebate too! My woodworking lessons weren't wasted on me.
  18. How are the T & G boards secured to the frame work...large short screws? What about the ends of those boards to same? Thanks
  19. Modern pre cleaners with explanations https://www.donaldson.com/en-be/engine/filters/products/air-intake/accessories/pre-cleaners/
  20. Original Rare ww1 British army Truck lamp /Head light https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1313&_nkw=333865431292&_sacat=0
  21. How big/little, diameter and length? I suspect RS Components would be a good place to start. As an example https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/cartridge-fuses/0563380/
  22. Item 30, or very similar, is for sale on face book if you search "vintage brass 12v car inspection light"
  23. Are the floor boards plain or tongued and grooved or grooved with a separate tongue?
