MkV Heliograph wanted

[David DeWeese]

Hi,

Bought a short range signalling lamp kit from eBay to go with my heliograph tripod,(thanks Roberta for the heads-up! ).

Does anyone have a couple of the clips that were used to secure the shoulder strap webbing? I think they should look like the one in the last photo?

Thanks, David

edit: found a couple of these clips in the floor debris of the Austin Champ I just bought.

Hi,

Was on eBay a week ago and saw this item with a "make offer" listing.

Well, my offer was accepted and this is what showed up on my door. Was expecting a much smaller signalling lamp......no dimensions were given in the listing.

Is this a ship to ship signalling lamp, a shore to ship lamp, ground to aircraft, or...?

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Thanks, David

From what I was able to find they were used by beach landing parties for signalling ships offshore.
