Good morning all

Since we are on the subject, I have just received a Universal Avominor Model 1A. this is the earliest one I have seen, with serial number 401-656 (June 1956).

Some of you may have seen this on Ebay, as it was supplied fitted in a wooden box (very snug) that included some sockets. I am not an electrical guy, so not sure what this box connections were used for, maybe a multiplier or for calibration. I took some photos

Interestingly this is marked on the Scale plate as a Model 1A, but the instruction plate is from a standard Model 1. Also the top face of the housing includes Admiralty Pattern 'A.P. 13301', which I know we have seen on instruction plates in the past.

For completion, this instrument has 'Type 3' on the bottom right corner of the scale plate.
