Info needed: Trailer socket Humber one ton

[Richard.Moys]

Hi

Regarding your original question

The sockets are called Warner Sockets. Some trailers did have one fitted at the rear, and this is so that another trailer could be towed behind the first one and so on (More than would be a nightmare to reverse !). The British Army Warner plugs are made of rubber (see post 17 for photo) and do deteriorate with age, there is a similar US pattern that was used on some jeeps etc, these are moulded ‘plastic’ and can easily be rewired (I am pretty sure that they are interchangeable). My 1963 Rover8 has both Warner and standard 12pin Nato socket fitted.

Hope this helps
Richard
