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 ?

If you needed a 'through the base' feed for a high-power set, there was a Tufnol plate that replaced the steel one with a large central hole and 6 holes in a hexagon pattern that match Insulator, W/T 'H' (a large ceramic mushroom type) that formed part of "Aerial Lead-in No.16" (It had a Base No.3 on a plate fitted to the Insulator 'H' and the flexible rubber dome was bypassed by braid straps to the plate.) For insulators on a frame at the front of the 'house' body there was an adapter plate (ZA.21283) with 10 studs - 4 to fit the support frame and 6 for the insulator assembly. I can probably supply photographs if required, but it means fighting my way past piles of stuff to find the items concerned. Both bases take Aerial Rods 'D' (the 34-ft steel vertical aerial), and there was a metal 'cage' to support the weight of tall aerials and prevent the Base No.3 rubber dome collapsing. It was later replaced by Aerial Base No.25 which had a metal socket for the aerial rods and did away with the rubber Base No.3 altogether - it just used the Insulator 'H'. Best regards, Chris.
