Default Searchlight Generator

I'm seeking any information or manual on a "Nunn" or "Harland" 18kva generator trailer. The trailer is made by H E Nunn & co, Manchester and the actual Generator is made by Harland Engineering, Alloa, Scotland so I'm not sure of who's name the Generator take and it's proper nomenclature. It's powered by a Ford V8 and puts out 100 volts at 180 amps continuous. As this is a heck of a jolt, I'd like to know more about the electrical side of the Genny before I mess with it.

I'm a bit late for the auction, I know, but the Commonwealth Disposals Commission disposed of 23 of these in Mar 1947.

The serial numbers and fleet numbers indicate there may have been more in Aust service, so where did they all go?
