Help with AGS parts?

I’ll have to have a dig in the archive to conform one way or another but they look familiar as being the ends off the power bungee used on the large heavy drop stressed platforms. As with most things in the airdrop world, systems in use today can be traced back to WW2.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

They are listed in my copy of AP1086 Book 12, dated 1942, as 28/6436, so the “N” must have come in later (the packet is dated 1955).

I’d assumed something to do with bungee cord, but cord acting as “shock absorber” to quote AP1086?

Ha !!
Don’t we just love trying to identify the unidentifiable. :confused: The section and ref seems to indicate anything from 1940’s to 1960’s,before the nato numbers system came in. And these items seem to be either anchor points for long springs or maybe they were threaded onto a rod (en-masse ) and used for holding some kind of string netting slung down inside of fuselage. This reminds me of the interiors of Beverley–Hastings,etc period. I’m pretty certain Section 28N was Aircraft AGS as against ground equip,etc.

Yet again, does:- “Shock absorber” springs/elastic mean as in light Aircraft landing gear or Anti Vib. Mountings ??

Best I can do AM, hope U get them identified.

look like a Dzus like fastner for the anti vibe mounts.
