    Thanks. That is very interesting and adds to my understanding. The one i posted a picture of looks a little home made. is it right?

    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.

    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Also three C's and two B's for the same vehicle, different users, that date from 1939 to 1964  I think it may have been superseded by the operators licence?

    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!

    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

     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.
