Charge Pump Box
I thought I would share some pictures of my recently Acquired Charge Pump Boxes,these contained the No 5 Air Pump, No 2 Liquid Pump and the No 2 Screw Pump along with hoses etc.
Used with the 13,18,17 and 25 pdr guns. Over here in the UK these boxes are impossible to find and I have been looking for over 15 year so to finally locate two is like winning the Lottery. I have two sets of pumps already so the plan is to complete the boxes and add them to my collection. Rob...............rnixartillery. Last edited by rnixartillery; 02-10-19 at 15:29. |

Great find Rob!
Although I did not win the lottery lately or find a charging box, I did score a CMP mirror this weekend. Cheers Rob in Manitoba

Its amazing how some of this gear survives through ulternate use,these boxes had been used to store books for the past 20 years.

I found a very very nice box (gutted) here in Canada, and bought the internals from Jack's box to complete mine. The price to ship the complete box from Auz was outrageous...not so bad for just the internals.
I still need to find the large pump for mine, but I think I have most of what goes into the box otherwise. |

Rob.
Have you got an original top tray ? if so can you post a picture of it . I have a couple of line drawings to reproduce the internals for the top tray although they are not too elaborate . Rob...……………...rnixartillery. |

Excellent ! one thing I have learnt is that all five of my boxes have slight differences in one way or another and I assume this is based on manufacturer.
Another thing I have noticed is that there is no place in the pump box for the 'spare glass ' Box for the Pressure gauge No5 and 16. Rob...…………….rnixartillery. |
