Aircraft part for ID please.

Hi,

The attached pictures are supposed to illustrate an alternator from a WWII aircraft. Any ideas which?

Hi Jon,

24 V as opposed to 12 volts points to a late war/post war unit.

The frequency of 1200 to 2400 hertz is typical for a alternator to supply the valve radio and radar sets.

For examples try Google search for T1154 and R1155 installation.

Looking at the drive it is Merlin driven.
