Interesting
Thanks Jordan,
I wonder if the straps were leather ? Has anyone got other photo's or reproduced the early type?

Thanks Mariano!
Where did you find those pictures? Are they from Clive Law’s CD-ROM with factory photos?

Tony, I'd say they were leather. I have the book and it looks like it is stitched in a rectangular patern with a cross, corner to corner. It looks like there is only one hole in each strap with a long bit after the hole.
The early carriers appear to have had leather straps giving way to rubber and then to webbing. So yes, leather.

This is a Bedford MWT but it shows the leather straps quite well.

Well done
Well I'm convinced !
Leather it is. Thanks Mariano, Adrian and Lynn We are lucky the old manuals survive and have members willing to share them.
