Nope good many years out Mark.

Andy with your switching around of the tanks, is it possible that air is leaking in now round the tap? The other thing is, the good fuel is in both tanks in case there is some switching anomoly. I'm not sure whether you have an early model with a turn tap or pull out tap. (I had a problem on a pig that drove me mad for ages the fuel gauge measured the fuel in the tank you were not using. The Army upgraded my prototype to the pruduction plumbing arrangement but didn't changeover the wiring!)

You always are :wave:

Well done Neil Mark, do you want to repeat your success with the date?

Nope and you need to think large.

Nope

It is to do with liquids

Nope

Nope

No that's all there was on it.

Anyone?

Wow! Everyone is getting far too clever. It was a 1908 RAMC Screw Tourniquet.

Yes well done Neil you are correct. Anyone care to venture a date?

Sort of

Ooh! Sounds painful, um but no.

Any ideas for this British Army equipment?

Well I've got the fuel, all week I have been shovelling it up whilst my wife has been away. For instance this moring there were 4 wheel barrows of it. That is from the horses, I day say I could fill a few buckets if there was a demand, as I have been cooking for myself. So if you want to do a spot of re-enacting at Beltring. For batallion capacity, the diameter is 5 ft & the height of the wall should be 3.5 ft.

Yes it is indeed. "A battalion 1,000 strong provides 600 lb of filth a day in latrine buckets, 500 lb of this being liquid and 100 lb solid. The fluid of 50 lb of this can be absorbed by 10 lb of sawdust and the regiment therefore requires 100 lb per diem of absorbent matrix of the equivalent value of sawdust, to take up the liquid." "In practice, dried horse litter provides the best supplementary fuel and it may be noted that 2 lb of this give enough fuel for the incineration of the faeces of one man." Incidentally urine itself was collected & filtered away separately. The above applies to the contents of buckets comprising solid & accompanying liquid inevitably collected at the same time.

Nope

Yes, can you be more specific?

Nope

None of those. For a battalion about 600 lb of this commodity needs to be processed each day.

Neither of those

Yes well done Tim, but for what special commodity was it designed for?

The condenser what did you replace it with? ie was it a new equivalent? People often carry around NOS condensers for emergencies. Sometimes they have up to half a dozen! When I have been given an opportunity to test these with a megger (& there is no other way to do it an ohmeter is no good) both NOS or used "but is a good one" have a deffect rate of about 75%. If you want me to test any or your rotor arm, send me an SAE Bear in mind a spark that you can see on a plug may not be happening when under compression when fitted in the engine. How old is the fuel, theses days it goes grotty quickly.
