[ex 2 Base]

To Boom, when I was in the army in Egypt we had a 40 watt bulb per tent and when they failed you had to wait for quite a while before you could obtain a replacement from the store, so we became skilled at wobbling the element around until it welded up and then we had light once again. The tent lines were wired using a twin core cable and wedge type lamp holders, back to a Lister diesel generator. Two strapping lads one on the winding handle the other on a piece of rope, I think they were 5 cylinder Lister. We also used 4 or 6 BA nuts and bolts plus two washers to fix broken fire elements, didn't twist them together and don't recall any failures.^5 years ago. Ted
