SCREWDRIVERS, 52-Set Tool Box
These two items arrived in the afternoon Post from England yesterday, right after our 'Not a Snow Storm' blew through town. They are now safely in the Tool Box.
It was really nice to finally see and handle the smaller of the two screwdrivers. It is a short, stocky item with a good feel to it and would have been the only tool suppled with the 52-Set that the Operators would have been able to use on the slotted 1/4-inch hex head bolts used to secure the three main set components in the Carriers No. 4 and the Remote Receiver in its Case. I had to try it out with one of these bolts I found last year and the head of this screwdriver snugs into the slots in the bolt heads perfectly.
Now that I finally have this screwdriver on hand, I will be able to test it on some of the other larger machine screws found within the 52-Set to determine what else it would have been used for by the Operators.
