COIL, Aerial Tuning No. 2 A. ZA/CAN 4725
The six Front Panel Mounting Brackets are another undocumented item in the Parts lists for the 52-Set. They are made from 1/8-inch thick by 1/2-inch wide, cadmium plated brass bar stock, cut into 1.5-inch lengths. These are them formed to create a 1-inch long bar with a 1/2-inch tab folded at 90 degrees at one end. Centred along the one inch base are two 11/64-inch holes, themselves centred 7/16-inches apart. The small tab is centre drilled and tapped to accept the cadmium plated RH slotted brass 8-32 x 3/8-inch panel mounting screw.
All six Front Panel Mounting Brackets are identical in their mounting to the wooden coil case with a pair of cadmium plated, 6-32 x 3/4-inch RH slotted brass machine screws, brass Shakeproof washers and brass hex nuts. If your Coil, Aerial Tuning No. 2 A has never been overhauled, or rebuilt, you will find once all the brackets had been installed, the hex nuts were secured with a dab of red lacquer. The one slight exception to the mounting process is found with the bracket in the lower front right corner of the coil case. This bracket has an additional brass fitting attached to it as part of the grounding arrangement for the aluminium plate front panel of the completed tuning coil. This fitting will get some separate coverage later, but since one end of it is also connected to the special front end machine screw for the right side Mounting Plate, these Front Panel Mounting Brackets need to be removed now to gain access to the Mounting Plate hardware later.
