Royal Enfield generator set
Could this be a generator set or a tank turret pump unit as in one of these pictures? They come from an early post war booklet called "Royal Enfield, a proud war record". The third picture sums up what else Enfield has made during the war...
Regards, Jan

The example on e-bay is clearly a stand a lone unit so I would agree with your comments on the probability of a shaft drive.

Thats the one I was refering too, Neil. Years ago, in the 70's, we used to still get these in for repair, check and preservation before returning to RAOC stores.
