[The Philpott]

I have a 40's era (vehicle mounted?) inspection lamp that has a long rubber extension lead stored inside- it unrolls as a tape measure would and the whole lantern assembly inside rotates at the same time. It has two threaded bosses at either side suggesting an up and down swivel mount with facility to detach and wander. I am thinking it may be off a Ferret or something similar, when i can find it i will do a pic. It is certainly not a signalling lamp, more of a spot lamp- the switch is very well made- a 90 degree 'clunk' job
