peter75 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Can anyone tell me which cable drum/reels are correct for British ww2. I have been looking at some equipment lists that list, Cable drum 880* twisted cable. Cable drum 440* single cable. Cable drum 220* twisted cable. I do have a reel that I was given but I have never been shore if it is wartime or post-war. Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packhow75 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Looks like ww2 cable drum to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter75 Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Thanks Tim. Would this be the correct reel for the 880* twisted cable? I am assuming that 880 is yards? I do know that the 220* twisted cable is on an ACL N,o,2 (apparatus, cable laying N,o2. see pictures with wrong cable!) and on this list (4.2" mortar platoon) is used with the telephone L,S, N,o,2 gun control. Dose anyone know the correct markings for the reels if I repaint them? Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packhow75 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Looks ok to me - I have the same. Though that said, there are some drums of the same size and look which are 1950s dated. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
