show report Reporting Live from W&P Revival 2013
fv1609 replied to Marmite!!'s topic in War & Peace show.
Just going back to good things. I forgot to mention the mobile phone mast gave excellent coverage & capacity on O2. I don't know if other networks were included. Instead of being virtually incommunicado all week with no usable internet like at the Hop Farm, it was a delight to be able to text & use the phone AND get a good 3G signal whenever I wanted, which is a lot better than I can get at home! So many thanks to someone for planning that most needed facility. -
show report Reporting Live from W&P Revival 2013

Oh so then I wouldn't be able to bring my 1998 Wolf. It was blown up in Afghanistan & seen more action than many vehicles on display. -
Wally not a general inspection light system. Although the moveable light has an individual function, it doubles up as a moveable inspection light for the equipment it is connected to.
-
To summarise, so far it is: British 1926 2-wheeled No.5 Mk 1 Electrical Steel box has 3 cells 3 lights of which one is moveable Used statically Not for convoy, horses, latrines, route or hazard marking
-
Wally that's not necessarily the case here. In respect of latrines there seems to be no illumination & indeed in some encampments they were out of bounds after dark & a night bucket was used.
-
Interesting line of thought Wally. It's not that but intriguing none the less. I have never seen an recommendations for lighting these facilities, indeed tactically it would be undesirable to have lighting. So I imagine everyone would try to do what they can before sunset thereafter they have to do it in the dark :shake:
-
Interesting idea Gary but its not that sort of thing.
-
Nope Roy not horse lighting, interesting thought though.
-
Nope Wally this lighting is only used when static.
-
John yes it is a form of lighting, but not for a buggy. :-D
-
Nope its not that Roy.
-
Broad answer Alec, nope :-D
-
Not lubrication Andy.
-
Yes not photographic Alec. Nearly, the box contains three "Q" inert cells & depending on the particular application feeding Cables, Nos. 6 to 10 at each end where there is a device with its own switch.
-
Wally yes it is electrical but not medical. (My dictionary said "dispense" could mean "distribute", so it does distribute electricity hence my woolyness about dispensing!)
-
Lauren the "U" doesn't go completely to the front although it lives in the present position in a clip but it can be moved around. The other two things are fixed. The two short things in the middle are not small wheels, Wally has established that this equipment is just two wheeled. Probably forget about dispensing, I had to say it was dictionary correct but that is confusing to think of dispensing as a worthwhile clue.
-
A good suggestion Alec but its not for that.
-
Nothing noxious like that Roy. ("Dispensing" is perhaps misleading but if I said it wasn't dispensing when someone gets the answer it could be argued that it was dispensing something in its broadest sense)
-
Wally it is indeed a box, a steel one. From the description I have it is attached with the nuts & bolts provided but it is not clear where they should be. I imagine it would be close to the axle although there is some latitude as it could be fitted to more than one type of equipment. PS In the broadest sense it is sort of dispensing something.
-
Another plausible one Alec but its not that. I don't know if this will help it but it was in service in 1926. It was the fifth model of this sort of equipment & a Mk 1 at that.
-
Gary I've got a lot to choose from there & all equally ingenious but it's not any of those I'm afraid.
-
Not for that Roy although some while ago we had one of those.
-
Wally yes it two-wheeled & British. But not for testing it was operational equipment.
-
Not normally.
