While it is so quiet on the NG I'll resurrect a recent request for identification in the hope that it will be more successful than last time. At:-

in the album "New Project" are pictures of a recent acquisition. Amongst the photos are one or two showing a brass identification plate bearing the initials " A.C." and a serial number. This is obviously a works ID. plate. Does anyone recognise the plate or offer a suggestion as to what "A.C." stands for. There is quite a lot of olive drab paint on the unit, so I suspect that it may have military connections. The engine build date of 1939 is significant in military terms too! The Suppliers plate reads "Metal Agencies Ltd" a company which was based in Bristol. ( I had a Catalogue of theirs a while ago but let it go on Ebay during a clearout). The unit did quite a bit of travelling prior to use! Dursley to Leith then back to Bristol. TIA. Charles.
