matman41 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hi All, Has anyone got the lead (or even a picture of one) that plugs into the socket in the picture? The sockets seem to be fitted on most large WW2 trucks etc. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 A picture of the socket itself might be helpful? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I think that it is the old fashioned military socket that was before the NATO socket. I used to see plenty of them around but Have not seen one for a while. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, Yes that's the thing, probably boxes of them sitting in an old warehouse somewhere!! Regards, Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matman41 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 This is the inside of the socket. Can anyone help? Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) If you have a look at the middle image here you can see the American equivalent; http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?47686-T-36-Radio-equipment-help-needed-please&highlight=socket ( ignore the trailer plug, which is there for a different reason ) I was able to get a two pin interstart cable from E-Bay, but expensive, and see that locating groove? I believe it is different for 12 and 24 volt ( my 'new' 24v cable won't go into my original 12v sockets - I'll have to rework the indexing ) If you want the cable, check the usual sources for two pin interstart cables, but there is a ' two pin to more modern single pin ' adapter out there too. More modern US socket, note the index groove; http://www.ebay.com/itm/MILITARY-SLAVE-RECEPTACLE-JUMPER-M151-M35-M37-M38A1-M54-M813-/141698480190?hash=item20fde3383e&vxp=mtr Two pin to single pin adapter; http://www.ebay.com/itm/NATO-2-to-1-pin-Slave-cable-Plug-Adapter-Used-Excellent-Cond-/321789471985?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aec25acf1 ... but looking at it again your socket has male pins, so it is related, but different.

ruxy Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Obviously pre-dates the Warner ,, http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?18978-Warner-Socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matman41 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 The socket is connected directly to the 24volt batteries of the truck, so the lead I'm asking about is for either taking power from or delivering power to these?? It is nothing to do with the Warner brake socket/lead as they are controlled from inside the cab on a different system. Regards Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Saw something similar on the Sultan for connecting a charging engine, rather than running the engine. Especially when set up in a Brigade complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
