BAC28 - MISCELLANEOUS

Broome Aircraft Wrecks

1. Servo manifold - Long, cylindrical, hollow metal barrel with five protrusions. Three barrels extend in a row from the bottom of the main manifold cylinder. All three end with handle screws and are embossed on each side with an anti clockwise arrow at the word “OPEN” at the top, and a clockwise arrow and the word “CLOSE” at the bottom. One of the barrels is also marked with “297-3”. From on side of the main manifold barrels extends a threaded sections with a large hexagonal coupling attached. The other side of the main manifold barrel has three hollow, eroded couplings. At the op of the main manifold barrel extends the fifth protrusion, a final barrel which is again topped with a handle screw and embossed with a clockwise arrow and the word “CLOSE” and and anti clockwise arrow next to a heavily eroded word which is likely “OPEN”.
2. Servo manifold - Section of manifold set on a short, central hollow barrel. Two parallel barrels extend from the top, both topped with moveable washers and embossed with anti clockwise arrows next to the word “OPEN”, and clockwise arrows next to the word “CLOSE”. A third barrel with a large hexagonal coupling extends from one side of the main barrel, while the other side has two coupling protrusions, one mostly eroded (see artefact 5), and the other threaded with a hexagonal and circular coupling. A final barrel extends from the base which is once again marked with arrows and the words “OPEN” and “CLOSE”.
3. Manifold fragment - Solid plat section of manifold with a large protruding screw, a thin pin-like protrusion, and a circular indent.
4. Manifold fragment - Large centre with a circular rubber washer attached. Two thin lengths of metal extend on either side along with two half screw holes and two encapsulated ones on each end. On the back is the engraved number “9”.
5. Metal coupling - small metal coupling, threaded section with a circular and hexagonal coupling attached. Conjoins with the missing coupling from artefact 2.
6. Misc. metal fragments - Eight small metal fragments, mostly sections of couplings or manifold plates.
7. Screws - Five screws, all the same length and diameter, all threaded 8 mm in from the end on both ends. Three screws have a hexagonal nut on one end, while the remaining two have a hexagonal nut on both ends.
8. Rubber washer - Hollow circular washer identical to that attached to artefact 4.
