Broome Aircraft Wrecks

NON-FERROUS artefact recovered from Broome Aircraft Wrecks

Oxygen supply cylinder clamp AND Metal plate shard.

Cylinder - cylindrical manifold branching into five pipes. Pipes set into a spade shaped extension from the cylinder. There are three short pipes which narrow into a thin metal nozzle. The remaining two pipes are long and joined at the end by a piece of twisted wire. They each have a threaded right angle coupling with remnants of a second right angle piece attached. The cylinder is set into a rectangular plate with a right angled plate and vertical screw at each end. The cylinder is topped with a domed piece held in place by three screws.

Metal plate shard - remnants of a number of metal plates, heavily eroded and warped. First and largest plate is attached to a second, smaller piece by three screws. This second piece appears to be attached to a third piece by a further two screws.
