Default Carrier Wrench?

I found an antique store near me that has a box full of GRAY 3/16'' x 1/4'' wrenches.It just so happens I have been looking for this combination of wrench for some time now for my Carrier Mk.1* tool kit,CO1UC-100722 spanner 3/16'' x 1/4'', but is it the proper wrench for the carrier or does anybody have a photo of what a proper 3/16'' x 1/4'' wrench would be for the carrier?
Regards,Derk

Hi Derk,

I don't believe the wrench you have is correct for the Carrier tool kit. All of the CO1UC-100722 3/16'' x 1/4'' spanners that I have seen have been of the same type (see images). The two grainy pictures that I have included are my best efforts at taking images of decent resolution from the 1943 Drivers Regulations and The FUC-03 tool illustration. I believe all of the images depict the same type of wrench.

I have sent you a PM but I am having concerns that my PM function may not be working correctly. Please let me know if you don't receive it.

Colin

Default Ahh!!

Colin,
I thought the smallest wrench heads had a bit of an angle to them! Thank you for posting the pictures and the search continues!
Regards,Derk
