Hi Tony,

To clarify, the illuminating apparatus is an Australian No1. Mk1 and is designed to fit the Director No.7. Look up Nigel's website on the laying of guns for a detailed explanation of the process.

Maker on the wander light is Stromberg Carlson, dated 1941 however plug is Australian made. This suggests that the design was used proprietary parts and did not change much between 1940's and the mid 1950's. The box is the same as a field telephone!

I'm curious to see what the difference is between the graticle lights.
