The Weekend Observation Quiz. X Rated.

Zoomup
In the old T.V. series Danger UXB in episode 10 there is an AVO meter used.


Q.1. Which model is it?


Q.2. What is the location of the old power station shown?


WARNING. There are some soppy bits and some biological scenes that may offend some viewers with a weak constitution. But the series was shown on T.V. in the late 70s so can't be too shocking.


I love Judy Geeson. What a fine actress.

Good luck,

    Is no one going to comment  on the battery in the demo of the mercury switch being a modern one (and rather unlikely use of modern wire insulation too)

    I guess to mock up a real wartime one would have required a battery to be re-gutted, and for  10 second shot, not worth it.



    Steel encased you mean?

    The trouble is that to mock up a real wartime cell would require making up a zinc body rather than a simple re-gut.

    I've never taken off the steel on a cell before, perhaps that might be possible?

    Is it just zinc underneath?

    (That admission gives some idea of how long it has been since I stopped dismantling batteries and cells.)


    Of course if we are going to be critical the whole thing looks as if it were made out of materials made yesterday anyway.
