"Emergency Tank and Vehicle Lamp"
In the diagram, item 66 is identified as a "Emergency Tank and Vehicle Lamp and Charger" The charger portion is attached to the vehicle. Does anybody know more about these lamps? Where one might find one? It looks much like a miner's lamp.

Lamp
Bruce,
This looks like a Hellesen lamp which I think was a British design as it was used in all British tanks of the period and stowed on certain trucks as well. Probably turn one up at places like Beltring show. Richard

...say...
...as I'm not likely to get there...what's the chance of having one acquired on my behalf??. As most of what appears in a Fox is either of US or UK manufacture (we Canadians had an identity crisis even then), your noting this as standard in UK vehicles sounds spot on. Many thanks.

I will keep this in mind and if I find one, will let you know. I have seen the lamps before, but not the charger. Of course if anyone else knows of one................... Richard

Lamp
Its not a Helleson lamp, these came with a non rechargeble battery. I have never come across this before, maybe it was an alternative to the Helleson.

Clarification
The 'charger' portion is attached to the vehicle in what looks like a standard household electrical box of the day. It has two switches on the front, apparently one to turn on the charger, and one the lamp(?). It also has a plate and stud which acts as a hanger for the lamp portion as well as being insulated to provide current. The cable attaches the lamp to the right box-like appliance that would appear to be a chargable battery. The lamp, cable and battery would be removeable and portable. This may be a stanadard UK AFV item or, being Canadian, could be some civilian thing impressed from local sources.
