I'm erring towards the castings being made at the Randwick works.
Ditto.
Interesting.
Is there a pic of the actual generator unit ?
It doesn't list a voltage there ?
It seems to be different to the spark generator for radio use of the previous discussion. ?
Of which Marconi were apparently nosing about during/after the war, with a view towards patent infringement.
To which the RAN gave them the silent treatment, it would seem.
There was also a scandal in Parliament about how much the Navy had paid for the whole shebang,
without any official ? approval or valuation ?
May we assume this Kevin still has this unit ?
I enquired of the Powerhouse Museum and the Navy History Unit about these (radio spark) generators,
and while they had some (scant ?) knowledge of them they certainly didn't have any actual generators or blueprints etc.
Certainly an interesting part of early Australian radio history.
