Cargo lights, Northern Electric? Portable lights

[Alex van de Wetering]

Hi Stefano,

I think the Canadian ones might be slightly larger than 16inch, but I am not sure; the cabinet on the CDSW does look rather small.

There is a Diamond T machinery in the Canadian War museum. Anyone know if this has any of these cargo lights? The pics I can find on the web don't give a clear answer

I have seen these and similar in a number of photos of machinery lorries but never any detailed information on them. I have noticed that not all have the wire guard
Here are two photos which may help a little.

In the attached photo, behind the grinder, this is one of those lamps I believe, but from memory only had one bulb, it would be about 16 inch diam.

Hi Lang,
I am afraid you have got me on that one .......... beer trailer?

The one in the photo is a WW2 Electrical Repair trailer.

You can't fool me Richard. I can see the two beer taps on the back of the trailer.
