....until you find out what the availability and price of red bakelite/phenolic board.......

Gentlemen, in the business that I work for we have many items custom made, machined plated etc.
If I had a clear picture and perhaps some basic dimensions I could inquire in our breaker shop as to the feasibility of such a project.
At the very least I could try to get some contact info regarding our vendors that could undertake this type of work.

I'm thinking resin impregnated 'something' to simulate bakelite. The hardware is brass nuts let in from the backside. The lettering can be done and dimensions worked out. I have no choice, I need to come up with a bunch, unless Frank V-R does have a box full.

Calling Chris Suslowicz...do you have details for a (or maybe an original?) two terminal batten?

Does anybody know the Dutch fellow that owns the HUW in Jordan's pic?

I've got a couple of the four terminal battens somewhere, and they are probably similar construction. I think the material used is 'Tufnol' a synthetic resin bonded fibre, but they may well have used other materials. It's fully machinable and the lettering is probably pantograph engraved.

I've not seen a two terminal batten, I'm afraid.

If the originals are brown I'd recommend Tufnol, if black then maybe Delrin.

Chris.

Phenolic board is probably the best solution. Not cheap, but reasonable, and readily available. You have to tightly control the dust from machining though, the formaldehyde that is used to make it is bad for the repiratory and nervous systems.
