  1. Signed first edition that considering events in Ukraine makes this a rather chilling read, plenty of reviews on the web.
    A previous reader has marked about 30 odd pages with light pencil marking and comments almost as if perhaps for a screenplay or such like, it is in good condition without tears or stains and has a dust cover.
    Price includes postage to a mainland UK address via RM signed for.

  2. Ingersoll Truimph pocket watch as given to employees of the company, works but needs a service as timekeeping is dependant on position of watch, body is free of scratches as is the front an easy fix if you know watches

    There is not a huge amount of information available about the Projectile Engineering Company. It was a munitions factory which was a leading supplier of shells during the Boer War and was obviously doing a lot of business during the First World War. During the Second World War the firm hired women to work in the factory – possibly they did the same in the First World War. The firm was bought by GKN Sankey Ltd in the 1960s and the factory ceased production in 1965, some records of the company are with the Sankey records in Wolverhampton.

    £35 inc signed for postage UK mainland.

  3. a41 almost to ces apart from i think the remote unit, Comes with commanders handset operators headset, remote and battle whips and feeder spike etc, I have fitted a french psu from the prc9 into the old battery case and the set was working when last used and was powered by a pair of 12v sla batteries that also fit into the battery case.

    Case and set are not modified and is a good clean example, It comes with the ft2 test set that can be used with the a40, cprc26, a41 marks 1 and 2 and this has all leads with it, This is UK sales only as hassle shipping  overseas and although i would prefer collection from Essex cm20 it could go via a carrier but will not be cheap due to weight and size and i could not be held for damage in transit. £350 ono 07760 245593

  4. On this day In 1944 a flight of Mosquitoes took off from Hunsdon airfield in Herfordshire for a raid on Amiens prison in France where French resistance and political prisoners were being held,some awaiting execution,it was a precision attack with the walls being breached and a number of captives escaping although many were later caught but the raid did destroy a lot of German documentaion on resistants and other prisoners.

    There is some British Pathe film of the raid on youtube and a lot has been written about the raid if you care to search,i will raise a glass tommorow night to you gentlemen.

  8. Chris,

    It crossed my mind that it may be for the a14 vehicle mounting gubbins which is quite a slim affair but only having seen one once i seem to recall it was something like the a13 vehicle mount but without the legs although i could be going off track,although it is the two holes in the clamp that are odd,are they for a strap to go across or for bolts to go through to attach whatever they hold.

  9. Richard,

    It's 54.5cm wide and 32.5cm deep that is the inside measurement where the eqpt would sit,nobody knows on the clansman larkspur group either,it's not for a teleprinter at least not a Siemens t100/c11/r210 as i have just sold a vehicle with that setup installed and it's not for a c12 as that used the 19set carrier.

    I see you say our prc10 so guess you are in the USA,i have a British a41 which is almost identical and have used a French psu for a prc19 to power it although it was removed from the case with the protruding pins and runs nicely from 2 1.2Ah sla batteries all fitted into the old battery case(the waxy one)which then slots into the metal case,i did not change any wiring and the plug fitted so maybe i was lucky and did not have a smoke leak but check with somebody knowledgeable than myself and if you can avoid it do not butcher the case!

  11. Hi Jarrett,

     

    Could well be ,radio gear is not my strong point !

     

    Rob

    Should have a great big insulator to go at the base for when it is used as a vertical radiator,but yes Larkspur from looking at rhe pigtails on the guy ropes and the big stakes for them,lucky you have the c spanner for locking it off as these often get mislaid,if you put it up just watch it does not slide down a section as it will make a mess of the flap of skin between thumb and forefinger(no i haven't done it)
