    You are correct on the fuel indicator, I have it as a Gauges, Fuel Contents, Electrical, Mk. IV, Smiths Type.

    My document shows that there were 8 different models of gauges fitted to the Mosquito.

    This one 6A/1108 is a Luminous Type 84 (417FG) Double indicator.

    I don’t have the Vol 3 for that aircraft but looking on the net, that part has a NSN of 5306-99-124-6591, bolt machine.
    This references to an Agusta Westland part of DDS2009Z1E. Hope this helps.
    It appears that it is a A104 series bolt

    Any idea as to what ARI number this system would have been assigned?

    27WW is the section number for Aircraft windscreen wiper equipment.

    If someone has AP4515C, Vol. 3, Pt. 1, then all about this valve will be revealed.

    The AP number implies that it is naval.

    You are right in that the M.3 clock is only listed as being used in the Miles Magister and that it’s sec/ref. no is 6A/944. I have always thought it must be a Smiths product as they made the M.1 clock.
    I have also been interested on getting my hands on one as well.

    As to my web page, yes it has gone, my ISP sent an email one day saying that “soon” it would be no more. I focused on removing other material before my clock info and before you know it had gone. So even I do not have the most up to date version of it.

    I use the wayback machine myself so will one day put it back up.

    Anyway, I do have just a little more info on the M.3, this from an RAAF document, listing the specifications of clocks and watches in use at the time.

    The types A.250 (6A/951) and the M.3 (6A/944) have the following statement: 12 hours with chronograph – (time of trip) in operation at normal temperature. and no other details about performance as all the other ones listed.

    I know that the A.250A is a luminous watch from the early 1930’s and I suspect that the M.3 is of a similar vintage as well.

    Sorry halothane, I have given you incorrect information. 6A/6432 is the Sect. Ref. number for the AG82 fuel indicator.
    Note to self, must not post to the forum when tired!
