Douglas Generator

[Neil Ashley]

I picked up an example of this type of generator at the weekend which in its original form produced 130 volts at 2.75 kVA. Post war it was converted to 230 volts for the civilian market.

The owner throught it was for Bofors Guns but the only examples with power mounts are presumably the SP versions which have there own pto driven generators.
Assuming it is WW2 as it is painted in war-time brown can anyone comment on its use?

If post -war the Bristol Bofors presumably needed a generator.

Pictures to follow as I am having problems posting.
