BOILING VESSELWITH THANKS TO HARALD BUS |
| There are a number of variants of the Vessel, Boiling, Electrical
available with the main variants being the No 2 Mk 1 & Mk 2.
|
| VESSEL, BOILING, ELECTRICAL, NO 1 | ||||
| The original AFV boiling vessel of (probably) World War Two vintage. It was phased out in the early fifties in favour of the safer No 2 version. | ||||
| VESSEL, BOILING, ELECTRICAL, NO 2 | ||||
| The difference between a No 2 Mk 1 and a No 2 Mk 2
kettle is that the Mk 1 is made out of steel and the Mk 2 is stainless
steel. Other than that they are exactly the same apart from the
Identification plate on top which is red on the Mk1 and silver on the
Mk2. The Mk 1 is usually dated in the fifties and the Mk 2 in early
seventies sugesting they switched from steel to stainless steel sometime
between those dates.
Not visible are the FV No's on the lids behind the knobs. They are; for the complete equipment: FV159910, and for the cable: FV 166461/1. |
