I don't think I've ever encountered a plug-in meter with a luminous face, they've all been standard black paint on a white background. The 'three part glass' in the meter protective cover is almost certainly a piece of laminated glass that has delaminated with age. The outer sheets of glass are for scratch resistance and the inner plastic/adhesive layer is to prevent splintering if it gets broken. (Glass either side because you won't know which way it gets put in.)

Meters with plastic (plexiglas/perspex or celluloid) lenses were a later (cheaper) approach, and they discolour and distort (celluloid) or suffer from crazing (plexiglas).

The meter protector is to keep dirt and damp out of the equipment while still allowing you to change the meter if it fails - and I think they issued spare meters (and designed them to be plug-in) for that reason. (It also allows them to be tested easily during overhaul, without dismantling the equipment)

Chris.

Mia culpa Mia Culpa Mia maxima culpa

I was asked for a return copy this by someone on this thread who so generously posted it to me more than a year back .

In the great hurly burly of life the reminder system and my feeble memory had pushed it to the outer limits.

I will post a copy of it to anyone who e mails me at ginavampire@bigpond.com

My deepest apologies and regrets fort not attending to this an eon ago .

Hi, that's a drawing I did, it's the gasket, pax board and pins for the 11 set plugs.

Would anyone be able to send me an image of the front of a spare valve case for the British 11 set? I want to make a decal. I guess one for the spare parts case might be in order too. Thanks.
