Vocabulary Of Army Ordnance Stores Section F1 1944

No idea John, but perhaps on here might be a fertile selling ground. Maybe advertise it for a week asking potential vendors to PM with their best offer before a certain date. Then if no takers with a sensible offers then ebay, but at least on here it will be appreciated by those who know exactly what it is rather being used a make-up bag or a picnic basket.

Here you go Lex, you've got a lot of collecting to fill your tool chest!

LV6-MT1 covers tool roll, chests etc but just the container. Sets of tools that go inside the containers are in LV6-MT2 then those themselves also appear in Section F1 Hand tools. All I can find for 6704 is in LV6-MT1 below. Going to LV6-MT1 1944 the only tool roll listed is for Operators Tyre Repair Plant (Basic). The are copious lists of contents for tool chests, which I will respond to in a moment.

Here is the official designation LV6/MT1/284 Bags, Tool Kit, Lorry, No.1 I knew I had seen the picture somewhere. Looks like it was designed on 30/1/36 Vocabulary of Army Ordnance Stores Section LV6-MT1 Volume 1 Miscellaneous Stores 1952

You are certain that it is WD? Are there any numbers or letters on it? Possibly might be Bag, tool, satchel No.2 that was leather about the same size

I have JSP 314 Joint Service Catalogue of tyres, tubes, valves, wheels etc (less aircraft) 1975 which is contemporary with WB Mk 7. Under Wheels, Pneumatic, there are 7 pages. There are listed first by NSN & then tyre size which we don't have (but a guess would help). But it might be identifiable if I can have the number of stud holes & their exact imperial diameter together with the bore diameter in metric & imperial then I may be able to identify the manufacturer & normal application.

Ah I'm with you now. Just looked at the wheels & tracks for Mk 7 & Mk 8 but they are entirely different.

Colin I'm not sure if you are asking for some wheels or asking what sizes they are? All the main info for WB Mk 7 is in the UHB & relevant EMERs, none of them make any reference to a parts list. On the other hand WB Mk 8 had a large AESP series: 1385-B-100-101 1385-B-100-201 1385-B-100-302 1385-B-100-512 1385-B-100-711 1385-B-100-811 I don't know whether all the various sized wheels were the same for Mk 7 and Mk 8. If they were the same I could tell you from the Mk 8 list.

Did you have a particular AFV in mind?

I'm not exactly reading this book that has just arrived from Russia. I have just looked at the pictures many of which I recognise! It is all in Russian but is about the history of water supply in military service, that has been a crucial factor in the history of conflict and mankind in general. About a year ago I received an email from Russia inviting my co-operation which I thought at first might be a scam. But the writer seemed genuine and promised me a copy of the book when it was published. It duly arrived with 15 stamps on it, so being quite heavy it would not have been cheap to post. The problem is that last year I had a computer crash and lost all emails. So I would l like to thank the four authors for sending this signed copy to me but I am unable to do so. It is very bad form not to thank someone for a gift but I hope the authors may see this and accept my thanks as I believe they first found me on HMVF.

It seems to fall outside the scope of EMER WHEELED VEHICLES as that is divided according to groups of large manufacturers. I can find nothing that ties in with what you are looking for in EMER WV A 000 & A 001 Catalogue of Army Coded Publications 1974 lists: Tractor, Earth Moving, Medium, Gainsborough Mk 1 & Mk 2 UHB Army Code No.12732 Servicing Schedule Army Code No. 11024 P.S.S. 18 (It states the associated publication is AC No. 12730, this is clearly incorrect as that is about the rights of a soldier when under arrest for an offence under the Army Act 1955)

Here is part of an article on petrol supply by Brigadier FS Clover CBE that was published in The Army Quarterly April 1945

Your forward resistances seem a bit high Terry are you using a digital multimeter? If so there won't be enough voltage applied to drive the diode into forward conduction, best to use an analogue meter that can do this. I use an Avo 12 which is low ohms/volt & intended for automotive testing. I see in this EMER the meter specified is a CT 497 but this is just a panclimatic AVO 7.

I've got a series of resistance readings for the various connector pins. I'll try scan them up tonight.

Try this & go to Part2 pdf

There is a little bit of coverage of Rectifier Unit No.1 Mk 1 here: file:///C:/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Temp/59e870de909ac_ALLCHARGEDUPPart2.pdf I'll see what the EMER POWER has to offer: W 124/2 Rectifier Unit, No 1 Mk 1 FV342588, Field & Base Repairs. Jun.1978 W 128/2 Rectifier Unit, No 1 Mk 1 FV342588.Part 2. Inspection Standard. Aug.1976

Well there is even a white car in Braveheart.

I can't remember the title but there was a docu-drama about 35 years on the events in N.Ireland in August 1969. So we have two RUC Shorlands painted grey. They were never grey, they were green as these vehicles were the replacements for Dingos in rural patrols by the RUC Reserve Force. The Shorland on the left is a Mk 3 that didn't exist in 1969 & not a MK 1, but I forgive them that as there were only two surviving RUC Shorlands. The one on the right is ex-RUC & I owned the other. There was also an Army Humber Pig in the film but that was a Mk 2, there were no Mk 2 Pigs in 1969.

A French film "The Blue Bicycle" shows the Wehrmacht equipped with a 1956 Humber Pig prototype FV1609.

The film "71" depicting Belfast in 1971 shows a grey Mk 2 RUC Humber Pig RUC Pigs had not been painted grey. They were green as they were deployed for rural patrols, not riot control. In 1971 the RUC had no Humber Pigs, they had been transferred to the Army & taken on census with ERMs in the 27BT** series. In 1971 there were no Mk 2 Pigs, even so the wing mirror position shown was a mod introduced in 1977. All RUC vehicles carried Belfast registrations, not Londonderry. .

In this 1999 catalogue I could find no reference to SCRA(T) as such but AC No. 63625 covers SCRA Terminal Equipment in TUM FFR Interim Installation. There are also Terminal publications that cover TUL FFR & 1/2 Ton FFR. Of the many other references to SCRA in TUM these cover specific Clansman equipments.

I can find no specific installation instructions in 2320-D-122-811 Mods, -411 Installation Instrs, -821 Gen Instrs Army Code No.12123 Part 1 Section 5 Communication Installations lists 46 User Handbooks in relation to TUM with SCRA. Did you have a particular designation of equipment in mind & is (T) Teleprinter?

Shorlands when in police service were still required to display their taxation status. This was the tax disc I displayed on my Shorland indicating it's Taxation Class when it was in police service.
