    Military history - missing years on the Merlin archive

    I think you will find that DDE is Direct Data Entry into the SALOME ADP system (System for Accounting & On-Line Management of Equipment) (Automatic Data Processing) this succeeded the earlier VESPER ADP (Vehicles, Equipment, Spares, Provision, Economics, Repair). This differs from in earlier...

    Military history - missing years on the Merlin archive

    Of all the examples I have seen, there is always far more information on the B Card than the very limited info on a MERLIN readout.

    What colour should a 5-bearing petrol engine be?

    I bought a military 5-bearing take out. The block was a sort of terracota & the sump black. "Preserved" military engines, irrespective of whether it was rebuilt, would be painted BSC381C No.101 Sky Blue.

    24v Wolf rev counter RPM gauge

    Sometimes people think that you can use an AC tap off point like that to drive an AC voltmeter to give an indication of RPM. Of course that doesn't work because the regulator controls the current through the field winding, so it needs to go something to read the frequency & of course the speed...

    24v Wolf rev counter RPM gauge

    Electronic Exhaust Gas Recycling for which the system needs an engine speed input. The EEGR alternators have the main output then on a two-terminal block there is the warning light connection & next to it the AC feed to the EEGR module. It is simply a take off at the junction of two stator...

    24v Wolf rev counter RPM gauge

    The AC output terminal for a tachometer sensor is only on the EEGR vehicles (that is just the vehicle alternator not the FFR one).

    Paint worries

    Yeah fair enough I can understand that then. I once had a military Carawagon & used up an awful lot of paint stripper to get rid of 7 layers of IRR paint. In later years I realised it was a waste of time as I had destroyed the authenticity just to get a nice finish. Some of the old paint had...

    Paint worries

    I don't know the age of your Land Rover but wonder why you want to get all the paint stripped of it unless you are going for a fresh from the factory look. If these paint layers are IRR paint, in service it was not be removed as the IRR effect depended not just on the IRR paint applied but on...

    12 or 24 volt?

    If you go for a 24v one make sure it is charging properly at the outset. Unless you are very confident there is no point in buying a thing that already has a problem & may be up for sale because the owner has given up trying to sort it out. Try to ensure the 24v system is entirely original, I...

    Can you Identify the colour?

    Looks like NATO Green IRR, when it deteriorates it goes very greyish. RUC grey paint was quite dark, classed as "Special Grey" - a dark slate grey. IRR paint would not make you look like a black hole. It is not a cloaking device, the idea is to reflect IR to the same as the chlorophyll found...

    Series 3 24v FFR 12v coil lack of power under load

    The filter box only produces 10v at the coil when the points are closed. This is dependant on the resistance of the coil it has been designed for drawing the prescribed current to obtain this voltage drop. The filter box is a two-stage ballast resistor with some fancy filtering, it is not a...
