ATU box
The British Aerial unit C box looks pretty much the same as the Aust. version. I do have a spare box here somewhere, I had it outside in the rain and it filled with water . I must find it and measure it .
The method of making the instruction plates does vary . I have seen printed sheets of paper covered with a clear plastic cover riveted over the paper . Etched brass is another method .
I have the complete C unit in front of me . The lid is 7.1" wide - 8.1" deep and 1 1/4" folded edge all around . The corners appear to be welded , then filed smooth
The box itself: 5.6" high 8.1" deep . The box sides are a single piece of steel folded into a square and joined with spot welds in the rear middle panel. The floor has turned up short sides and is spot welded to the main box sides .
The instruction sheet under the lid is a thin metal sheet with what looks like screen printing on it .
