Bracket for Hellesen lamp
Patrick,
Attached is a PDF drawing from the Hellesen lamp bracket as installed in my Staghound. I took the dimensions from an original example in another Staghound turret. For such a simple task it is a rather complicated thing... I hope the resolution of the attached drawing is sufficient so the dimensions can be read. When not, pm me your email address and I'll sent it directly to you. In Sherman tanks, another (more simple?) type of support for the Hellesen lamp is used. I don't have a drawing from that one but I am sure someone can help you with that. Marco

Sunlite advert
"Civilian" advert showing a handlamp very similar to the military style lamp.
The interesting thing is that the advert comes from a "Country Life" magazine dated October 1925. The "penetrating beam of light" is rather exaggerated.. Marco

An advert from a Merriman & Howard Ltd (Manchester, U.K.)
catalogue from 1934. The lamp seems to be marked "Hellesen" also.

Sought but never found
During the years I had my Centurion I hunted high and liw for an ellusive hellesen lamp for the turret.
Never found one and eventually sold of the Cent. Years later I found a squashed one on the site of an old tank rebuild workshop in Western Australia. I straitened it up a bit andvpassed it onto a fellow collector who had two centurions... Cheers Phill
