XWDV8

would like to know what type of gun this is from my home town, the photo was taken on Westerham green (kent)

I understand the gun was captured and placed on the green for some time. WW1 or WW2

i think ww1

can you help

some more photos to show how things are coming on

found this photo online

what sort of speed would the spitfire need to do to keep up with that V1

It's the old British 4-pin (B4) valve base, as used on the Wireless Set No.38 batteries. There are loads of them around, and I can probably find you a couple cheaply if you want them. (Note: the B5 will also work, just ignore the central pin,

 

The normal standard is: regard it as a kite shape, and looking at the plug pins (or the rear of the socket):

 

Left is LT+ (1.5 volts, in this case)

Top is HT- (0 volts)

Right is LT- (0 volts)

Bottom (the pin furthest away from the "group of three") is HT+ (67.5 to 90 volts)

 

Don't plug it into a WS38 battery (or power unit) because those have 3 volt LT and 150 volt HT and you'll blow all the valves on the 4C (the earlier units using ARP12s do take the WS38 battery, which is much larger).

if we can find a bass like this can make a pack up, my one had the IT4 1.5v & 65+ was a long time back,

if you could post a photo of the plug will see what i can do,

we need to find something for this plug to plug into at best.

would like to do this with out cuting old one off

as for cost £20-£30

but your unit is 60 years old it may or may not wont to work

would be nice to see this work at a show :cool2:

look out for the OC with the UHF Pye Pocket Phone (PF1) the transmitters and the receivers were in separate hand held units.the radio on the man looking for the UXB I think was a D.O.R.U transmitter on 430 MHz Receiver Duplex on 449 MHz – 447 MHz. the base unit had a tape recorder....brave people !

its made by sealey,flow rate 10-16 cfm 100psi cost about £50 works well.

not made the call about bumper but will soon, did send an email,
