Nope not bridges. There is some equipment above the surface that I have blotted out otherwise it would give the game away pretty quickly.
-
Nope not that.
-
I think you need to think in a larger scale :-D
-
Ingenious thought Richard but nope. There is air in the tank but not compressed.
-
None of those Tony.
-
Not very Tony, none of those & a difference era.
-
Quick off the mark there Tony, warming up for another win I suppose. :-D Suggestion sounds very plausible, but it isn't that.
-
What's this all about then?
-
The CS crystals are mixed with the solvent in a bucket & poured in the container on the right. The one on the left is just filled with solvent. The engine is warmed up, a blanking pug is unscrewed from a boss that has already been brazed to an aperture made in the side of the exhaust pipe. The blanking plug is unscrewed from the pipe from the pump, the main tap turned on, the selector tap is switched to the CS & pump turned on. When finished the solvent is switched on instead to flush the system through.

Well done Chris absolutely spot on! Intended for "challenging troops who have completed their individual phase of training and are tactically deployed".
-
Seems plausible Alec but it is not for the sort of scenario that most of us would assume.
-
Nope. One of the features was that it could be operated discretely. But as intimated earlier it is not for the most obvious reason that one would immediately think of.
-
Well done Tony it is indeed! It was fed into the exhaust system & blown out of the back. The CS was dispersed so effectively as an aerosol that it was virtually invisible. But what was the role of such a device?
-
Richard nope not that sort of thing. But in there you have touched on something that is in a convoluted way sort of allied to what this device could be associated with. I'm afraid that's not a very helpful clue, but when you get the answer it will show that it could be loosely associated.
-
No flames from this, what it produced was largely invisible.
-
Sorry to hear that he was certainly a leading light in the Dorset MVCG. I didn't know him very well but none the less he was ready to help out in times of trouble. George is on the left in the white T shirt by the door of my Shorland. An embarrassing incident 25 years ago when a wheel came of my Shorland at the Bere Regis roundabout near Bovington. George came up him Dick Shepperd (on right with cap) in Dick's wrecker. I think George had quite a fleet of staff cars, Plymouths? But I had not seem him or his collection for some years.
-
Well as it happens one of them does contain a solvent, but it is not for what has been suggested so far.
-
No de-icing Tony. Don't be misled by the name of the jpg :rotfl:
-
I think it is one of those pumps, but the whole system is fairly low pressure. The tops on the cylinders are vented.
-
Richard yes there was a clue but it will only seen to be a clue after the answer is found. Its not a fire extinguisher system, it is something that might seem to be involved with that sort of situation but actually has a surprisingly different role.
-
I like your thinking Richard but nope. When we get to the point when someone has nearly got the answer it might be supposed that this equipment was intended for that sort of situation but it isn't.
-
Nope Bernard nothing inflationary.
-
I can see what you are thinking Chris but not that.
-
Tony there is a tap & pump but it is not for heating, fuel or any hydrovac.
-
No fuel Adrian. The tanks each contain different things.
