11 Set stuff

Maybe we should do a group build of WW2 battery boxes !

I have two 1942 British batteries , the 6V ones in the wooden box with the Niphan connectors . I uploaded drawings of the box somewhere on this forum .

I think Ron Pier has some of the original batteries as well . Rory B made some I believe .

I was talking to a WW2 signaller, he told me his job was to recondition the wireless batteries every 3 months. He would use a kero blowtorch and melt the tar seal , insert new plates , reseal and add acid .
