Not sure who they are, Wendel, but the same ID shows up on some wartime British 1937 Pattern web gear.

hello
Thanks for this propositions, but i Don't think that was the same manufacturer for the web equipement.
an other personne proposed me a Marconi production but i Don't find MEC Ltd in the listing of marconi product name.
Thanks for your help,
We are going to find one day :)

As per the facebook discussion about this...

MEC on webbing is - Mills Equipment Company (MECo) - AFAIK the Mills Equipment Company only every produced webbing (could be incorrect, but have never seen them associated with anything else to date).

MEC here is MEC Limited, which I assume therefore is a different company.

So, the suggestion is Marconi - but no one has conclusive proof it is them or anyone else yet.

I tried Louis Muelstee's (sp?) epic series on wireless (Wireless for the Warrior) and although the diagrams sometimes have the face plate with MEC Ltd. on them, nowhere I can find does he define who/what this stands for!

Agree it is not Mills ..... but who/what?

According to Wicked-pedia, the company names have been as follows, none of which seems to fit MEC Ltd:

Naming history
1897–1900: The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company
1900–1963: Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company
1963–1987: Marconi Company Ltd
1987–1998: GEC-Marconi Ltd
1998–1999: Marconi Electronic Systems Ltd
1999–2003: Marconi plc
2003–2006: Marconi Corporation plc

thanks for your help. At his time it's a complet mystery.

Any clues inside the set, Wendel? Parts with a full name, or the same ID? Usually, companies involved in wireless manufacture are already involved in the industry in some capacity.
