Mike I have a united specialties breather that has two tags one from Ford of Canada and the other with a Ford part number. I assume United Specialties was a subsidiary of Ford? I don't know that these were supplied as a carrier part, but assume they were used "across the board" where an oil bath breather was specified. Nigel Watson's book talks about the alarmingly short engine life of Carrier engines in the desert and assume the oil baths were adopted then?
My Canadian Commercial parts book specifies "C11AS 6766 D Cap - oil bath breather assy (when Hydro vent specified) "Push in type". Fitted from 3/41. There was also a screw in type.
