There are several versions of the DND ARMY fire extinguishers. The ones ahown are my favorite. You can also find them stamped on the edge of the top, as well as find the DND ARMY on the label at the top.
I have also seen them with CPR on the top, so it looks like pyrene would custom make them for companies or departments.



Seems to me I made a thread on extinguishers about a decade back. Found it here: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...highlight=fire



I suppose a civilian extinguisher would be fine, but not one with insurance company markings on the label, which are quite common.

My favorite surplus yard still has dozens and dozens of these extinguishers, and not all are DND marked.

Don't kid yourself, they were marked because if they found one in your kitchen it was proof you pilfered it from your employer.

I find they're like those 2 gal. POL cans, buy them when you find them because you need several for each vehicle (standard CMPs luckily only one).

Default Installing antennas

Started installing antennas . One receive , one send as per no 19 HP set instructions . Two No 8 bases on two opposite chimneys as to avoid interference as much as possible .

Default antennae chimneys

Removed the covers on the antennae chimneys . Under the top covers i found bolt hole patterns for the No 9 base to the left and the No 8 base to the right . On the center chimney cover i found this peculiar pattern of 4 1/2 in X 4 1/2 in . What antenna base uses that bolt pattern ? Maybe post-war use with other radios ?
