Info needed: Trailer socket Humber one ton

[chrisgrove]

The link in the last post is most useful (though the drawings are of a 1/2 ton trailer and not a 1 ton). There are three pics (if you follow enough links and scroll down far enough) of the front of the 1 ton trailer (though an updated one compared to the one I am modelling - at least as far as the lights are concerned). None of these pics show a socket on the trailer. The cable appears to disappear into the chassis member that connects to the tow ring. But the pic also shows a clip, rather like the rifle holder clips in the cab, which holds the connector which plugs into the socket on the truck. The one I photographed a few years ago has one of those too, though fitted on the other side. I conclude there is no socket on the trailer, but the cable is permanently attached to the trailer wiring, and when under tow, the connector is unclipped from its holder and plugged into the truck socket.

My model will assume that anyway! Many thanks to all those who have posted such useful photos.
