19-Set, A-Set Aerial Connectors

[David Dunlop]

From what I can see in the literature, there are just three of these available:

Aerial Feeder Assembly No.9 - as used in the 15-cwt Wireless Trucks, connecting the Seating Plates No. 4 to the A-Set Aerial Base.

Connectors, Single No. 7C - used to connect the cast iron Telescopic Mast Aerial Base to the Seating Plates No. 4.

The rubber Transmission Lines attached to any of the horizontal aerials.

Does anyone have surviving examples of the first two, they can post photographs of, showing overall length and the connector fittings at either end? I think they are all single conductor (probably stranded copper wire) in a rubber sheath. They might have yellow rubber ID sleeves on them, or the brown, woven laquered sheaths. I would also like to find out what the end connectors are. I suspect the end fitting to Seating Plates No. 4 is some form of ring connector that takes a short metal stud, which is secured to the ring connector by a cheesehead screw and internal lock washer, The other ends of the first two cables could be a ring or a hook connector.

If these connector cables are simple single conductor items, and not coax, they should be easily enough replicated.
