Thanks for the list aircraftclocks. My guess on the instruments was about 90% correct. Finding a Televel is still a challenge though. Aerovintage do have a few useful bits as well.

If you know the two prop models, you could work it out from this catalogue: https://www.hydratight.com/sites/default/files/downloads/media/8000-om-10-11.pdf

45 x 17.00 – 16 is from C-47, but unusual with block tread.

According to the T.O interchange list the O-1 generator was suitable for a wide range of aircraft -everything form B-17 through to early Allison P-51. Being from NZ I would think it was probably used on C-47.

I have seen Harvard tailwheel tyres in New Zealand with AM stamps. Probably made to specific order for Air Ministry. Harvards for the RAF had a lot of AM equipment installed.

12.50 SC is Harvard tailwheel. Maybe other aircraft as well.

ColdKiwi, AN 01-1A-9 is ” United States and British Commonwealth of Nations Aircraft Materials” which I am digitizing at the moment, but if you have an e-copy already, will you share? I am doing 1946 now. If you don’t have an e-copy, can you digitize 1944 only, and share?
This is a stunning document, very detailed and helpful.

Unfortunately I only have hard copies of both documents, but I would be quite happy to share a copy of the 1944 version when I get it scanned. I just need to arrange that somehow. If you PM with your EMail we can work out the details.

Hi Graham,
I have two copies of AN 01-1A-9. One is dated 1944 and the other 1946. The only later copy I have is the TO version from 1988. I am not sure when they changed from AN to TO. Interestingly, the 1944 copy is stamped “Short Brothers and Harland ltd , technical library 1954 and also TEAL tech library, so that is probably how the manual found its way to NZ. As you note, there are other 01-1A- series publications that have a wealth of detailed information. It would be interesting to locate early versions of those as well.

US military manual AN 01-1A-9 ( United States and British commonwealth of nations aircraft metals ) is a great source of info for substitutes and equivalents for US, UK, Australian and Canadian material specs. The wartime and early post war versions have the UK specs, but later and current versions of the manual ( TO 1-1A-9) only have US specs. There is a lot of data – mechancial properties and chemical composition along with substitutes and alternates. The Appendix III states in the forward ” …to be used as a guide by British service activities in selecting interchangeable and substitute United States metals when specified UK metals are not obtainable.

I have a selection of good 12D40 parts available -most suitable for airworthy use. Only problem is that I am in New Zealand……

The handle and mount are common to a number of American aircraft including T6 ( Lance might have some). Just the placard is different which can be manufactured without too much difficulty.
