Default INSULATORS, Ceramic, Strain No. C1 ZA/CAN 4665

Turned out a good friend of mine in town had a set of these he had picked up from a local surplus shop years ago, so after a quick phone call from him I went over this morning and picked them up.

Looks like two different makers might have been sourced for these insulators during the war. The front two are identical white glazed ceramic, while the back one is a light cream colour. The back one also has a very subtle rectangular 'flat' along one side. it would likely be more visible in the ceramic finish alone, as the glaze applied over it tends to round out the f'lat' quite a bit.

The odd thing about the aerial supplied with the 52-Set Remote Receiver kit is that although the wire and insulators were provided, no cording of any kind as included that the operators could use to tie the insulators to anything.
