a good start
Hi again
Firstly for those of you who didn't know, expressions is spelt expressions NOT exspressions as I have spelt it. Secondly, I ment to write....... the "chain and spring" OR the "lower hook section" not........ 'OF the lower hook section". Sorry for this but I'm not that smart at the best of times let alone at midnight. and to finish, thanks for the interest so far. Kind Regards Nigel

bases
hi Nigel,
Hey, we have been looking for the toothed base plate forever ... we , I mean us PU 8 cwt wireless truck owners . I do have the upper section - the brass cup and the mushroom shaped insulator ..these are super rare items . The lower toothed base plate , your pic shows it , has turned up at last ! I'll tell Rory Ballard about this find of yours. I made some detailed drawings of the cup and insulator ..will try to locate tham and post here . Would be interested in any drawings or the actual repro toothed base plates Pics Mike

more base stuff
The base appears to be a generic fitment as it appears in many contemporary pics , fitted to various vehicles , including the early tanks and armoured cars. For some reason, although being a common bit of kit , virtually none of the bases have survived . The part example I have came via Perth, West Aust. of all places .. we think it may have arrived with the No. 1 sets just pre war , of which a very small quantity were despatched to Aust. and NZ.
Mike

Is the "Mushroom" Insulator ceramic or Bakelite?

insulator

Mike PS . There may have been two versions of this base . One for the 5/8" rods ( my drawing ) and one for the later thicker 7/8" rods . This is conjecture on my part , but I have seen the two different antenna rods ... its difficult to know for sure , being over 60 years later .
