Tim Isaac Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Found a couple of these today, they are approx 4`6" with 18" between collars. I can`t find any reference to them, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Tim VAOS Section XA is quite old, even in a VAOS of 1943, X is subdivided into: X1 Searchlights, sound locators & associated stores X2 Generating sets & general lighting stores So I assume XA predates the division so your item would could fall in either of the above categories. But it is not YA (Line & visual) or ZA (Wireless etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Isaac Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thanks Clive, That helps narrow it down, I`ll try it on a few drums and see what fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 As there was nothing on the tele I was perusing some VAOS. I see this 1970 VAOS Section X1 includes earlier XA items associated with the electrical supply for searchlights. These being XA + 5 digits suggest to me your item has some associated role. I realise the digits are higher than your item but this is from a list 30 years on. I know these are not your items but have a look & see if you get the same feeling.
