So how many can identify this then? For sale, (55 quid), on an autojumble stall at the Basingstoke festival of transport at the weekend.
1920s or 30s. Anyone here ever used one?
I had to ask the stall owner what it was for & he only knew cos someone had told him.

Look very much like Bedford TK or KM to me  . To be truthful early lorry brakes are fairly generic and interchangeable ,far far more than car brakes. |

Nope, wouldn't surprise me if down as Merc, like I said pretty generic ,even more so on trailer brakes .Used to sell by width and length rather than make.Air actuators are the same as well...when i was selling them anyway.

An earlier version of the engineers stethoscope? For listening to what's happening inside engine/box etc.

Awwww, no pulling the wool over your eyes Bobby! Yes indeed, its called an ‘acoustic probe’ and was originally part of a nice wooden boxed kit, which also contained a stethoscope with different length probes, passed down to me from my late father, But this one is designed to rest just in front of the earole. When I moved workshops a few years ago, the set got misplaced somewhere along the line  Seeing Mr Kapri with his scope reminded me that I had it somewhere. |
