Default Compound

These are 'compound wound' generators with 2 sets of field coils. One set for starting the petrol engine and the other set is used for generating the power.

They are often seen for sale here on the usual sites. The army here used them into the 1960s, converted to 28V for the Larkspur radio system batteries.

Tooles disposals had a number of the 28V sets but that was 40 years ago.
