I would think the one toward the centre is for the start of the wire and the outer is for the end of the wire so the curcuit can be completed without unwinding?

Derk, white over blue is always correct for signals. The arm band was usually worn by a Royal Corps of Signals dispatch rider (DR or Don R) Other motorcyclists were classed as just that "Motorcyclist".

The arm band would give a DR absolute priority at any form of traffic control. Ron

Cheers,Derk

The Canadians used lots of Norton 16H's as well as Harley WLC's. There's an excellent book on WW2 Canadian motorcycles and their riders called "The Winged Wheel Patch" Ron

You don't need an excuse to get a WW2 Cdn motorcycle Derk....just lots of cash.

I have cash but it’s to buy a new reliable truck to pull the camper the wife bought last fall.
Now if I could find a wartime motorcycle that would pull a 30 foot camper then my problem would be solved!
Thanks again Ron for the information.
Regards,Derk
