Just a small puzzle that perhaps someone can answer. I've recently acquired

Its spares number is also marked as ZA28552.
Its contents are listed on the internal label as 4 x ATS25, 2 off 2W lamps

There is no surprise in respect of the valves, spare bulbs and 500mA fuses,

The amplifier only has one fuse installed (500mA) so I can't see any reason

Anyone know?

Dear Ron,

Does your obscure French proverb
<<l'ectoplasme ambigu de la svelte ambroisie
   chanfreine le destin des noirs palétuviers>>
mean something in the way of
<<the ambiguous ectoplasm of the slender ragweed
     blunts the destiny of the dark mangroves.>>-?
Please correct me.

Thanks for that. 

I knew the 807 was a major workhorse of transmitters but wow, so many different designations. 

Is there any discernible practical difference between ceramic and other bases.

BTW do you recall the designation of the Plessey aerial multicoupler consisting of about 6 cathode followers using 807s?

Is the ATS25 the same as an 807?

I looked it up in my aged Radio Valve Data but there is no reference.  It gives the QV05/25 as an equivalent for the 807.   It would be typical of the Army to use a name that appears to be unknown beyond the Services.

Just a small puzzle that perhaps someone can answer. I've recently acquired a 'Spare Valve Box' ostensibly for the WS19 amplifier. It is marked No 5 Mk 1/1.
Its spares number is also marked as ZA28552.
Its contents are listed on the internal label as 4 x ATS25, 2 off 2W lamps 951219, Cartridge fuses No1 500mA, ZA3577 (6 off) and 1 Carrier Fuse Cartridge No1 Z 590101.
There is no surprise in respect of the valves, spare bulbs and 500mA fuses, but what on earth is the Carrier Fuse Cartridge No1? Note the number prefix is given as 'Z' and not 'ZA'
The amplifier only has one fuse installed (500mA) so I can't see any reason why an additional fuse - whatever it is - should be included.
Anyone know?

Good morning “Codger”.  You are fine with me.  Perhaps you would tell us your name and/or callsign?
