Kenham Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Not sure if this is an emergency compressor for a U boat, I have been assured it is . Quite where the person who told me it is got his information from I know not. I cannot find any information about it , did U boats have emergency compressors? It is German , wartime, and I have been told the colour is right for German navy . Can anyone tell me more , as can be seen the engine clips on to the compressor , for ease of movement I presume. Look forward to any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Prof Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi, fbc is the german WW2 Alphabetic Ordnance code for Ilo-Werke H. Christiansen, Pinneberg bei Hamburg, a maker of two stroke engines and electric motors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILO-Motorenwerke Wierdly, the only company I know of named in Esperanto! (ILO comes from the Esperanto word for "tool".) Best Regards, Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
