43rdrecce Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hello all, Does anyone out there have a WW2 period battery for a Hellesen Lamp? The lamps were carried in many British Tanks and Armoured Cars and I would like to mock up some batteries for a couple of lamps I have. They were in use long after the war so someone out there must have one, or at least know what the things look like. The following document shows the spec for a No4 battery which seems to be the right size, albeit of a later date, for the frame of the lamp. http://www.royalsignals.org.uk/files/defstan/01000250.pdf The lamp itself is shown here: Can anyone help with a photo or details of the correct WW2 battery?

Adrian Barrell Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 They occasionally turn up with the battery still fitted, though sadly never for me! ISTR it was a paper or card wrapping with two screw terminals in the top. I still need another Helleson btw........:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
