    Looks like that Wally but others have suggested it's to do with tank warfare as well, but it ain't. There would definitely not have been any tanks within a thousand miles of this

    Very warm Wally! I see what you mean like pointed bits of garden fence timbers, but these square things have 3ft sides
  3. fv1609
    Is see what you mean Wally, it's not that but this IS the view from above

    Lost me a bit there Lauren

    Good idea Bryan but not that, its above ground.
  6. fv1609
    A good thought Lauren but not that.
  7. fv1609
    A good interpretation Wally & it so easily could be that looking at it. But this above ground.
  8. fv1609
    Nice thinking Lauren I can see what you mean. But this pre-dates that sort of thing.
  9. fv1609
    Well as you asked Richard, mineral & vegetable with animal connections.

    I get your thinking Lauren so these are a gathering of the blue plastic tardises that have been delivered for curry night but only the outside ones can be accessed? What a mischievous thought! Well its not that.
  11. fv1609
    I can see where you are coming from Wally, a very good thought but its not that.
  12. fv1609
    A very sensible interpretation Rick & a good sense of perspective. Actually its not tank related.
  13. fv1609
    Looks a bit that way Bernard but not tank related at all.
  14. fv1609
    A very shrewd question Wally. Yes I suppose it must be the right way up.
  15. fv1609
    Tony no this pre-dates all that cube nonsense

    What's this all about?

    Just been out in the Wolf & found the +ve pin. Of the other two, one is earthed for the screen (makes a difference as some of the inverters emit RF interference) & the other is the -ve for the inverter itself. In my situation both of these are joined together, but can't tell you which is which although often earth is opposite the keyway.

    Sorry you've got conflicting info there. The lights I am using are the same as Andy is using, so he may well be correct. I've got 4 wired up in the Wolf so tomorrow I'll go & put a meter on them & see what is what.

    Meant to say the plug one end & socket the other is so that a series of these can be strung together with one feeding the next. It is just a straight through feed. When you get the correct plug make sure (for safety reasons) that the live connector on your lead terminates at the connector with the female fittings.

    I've just consulted EMER WORKSHOPS F100 Chapter 105 which gives the conventions relating 3-pin 24v connections. It appears that the pin opposite the keyway is +ve Pin B Pin A -ve Pin C earth
  21. fv1609
    Just watch out with plugs because they have bigger pin spacing on the 250v ones. I can't remember the polarity on your plug at moment but I think positive & negative supplies float above earth. It is only the screening on the cable (for interference suppression) that is earthed.

    I've got the set but only in FAESP this is 101
  23. fv1609
    Yes Richard it was a requirement a bit ahead of it's time as high power silicon diodes weren't around then. I wonder whether the requirement was somehow fulfilled in SA? Even when certain Rovers were converted to alternators they used a selenium rectifiers, which seemed not to have been cooled enough hence the later improved cooling as in "toasties".

    Monty sorry forgot about the rest of it! ...an emergency.
