Lamps Operator No. 10 Mk.1/1 and 11 Mk.1/1

Lamps Operator No. 10 Mk.1/1 (ZA 31038) was fitted to clamp and arm marked Lamps Operator No. 11 Mk1/1 (Z1/6230-99-943-7883). This might be at first glance an odd combination but as several samples were encountered this assembly appears to be original.

Unknown Lamps Operator

This variation of Lamps Operator No. 2 was unmarked. It had a different top cover.

Close up and general view of an unknown type of lamp, believed to be a commercial model. In this picture it is seen fitted in an early Golden Arrow Mk.II receiver trailer. It was also used in other vehicles.

Miscellaneous post-war lamps.

Several versions and variations of fixed mounted ceiling and wall mounted lamps have been encountered. These lamps were not specifically wireless items and  normally part of a vehicle installation kit.

The armless ceiling lamp shown left and right was used in numerous wireless and line communication vehicles and trailers. It had similarities to and might be a modified version of Lamps Operator No. 3.
