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.

1. Converter - Large hollow cylindrical converter. Set into a rectangular base which rises into a trapezium shape to support the cylinder. The base is hollow underneath with four empty screw holes in fortified corners. There is a crossbar through the centre of the rectangle with a large hole in the centre and three screws (one on one side of the hole and two on the other). The hole is larger than the screws an unlikely to have contained a fourth screw. Embossed on top of the base at one end are the letters “BRC”, two more figures which are indistinguishable, then “100”. The cylinder itself has two large screws on each side, and a metal plate attached to the top with two small screws. The markings on the plate are heavily worn, but some of what is discernible reads “230 D.C.” and “AMPS”. The end of the cylinder is also marked with “H.V” and “EA-80925” There are three screw holes at the top and base of each end of the cylinder. The ends of the cylinder also have large metal protrusions in a “U” shape. Each side of the “U” has a large metal screw going through it with a black screw cap on the outside. The base of the “u” has a circular plate with four screws and a long twisted wire attached to the top and base. Inside the “u”, extending towards the inside of the cylinder is a large circular gear which is attached to the large, wire, rotating centre of the converter.
2. Metal plate - Warped metal plate, bent inwards at two points, then outwards at a third. Heavily eroded with a number of holes.
3. Metal plate - Flat, heavily eroded metal plate. Has one empty screw hole, with a second screw hole and remnants of a screw beside it.
4. Metal plate - Small section of metal plate, heavily eroded. Contains fully threaded screw which is only threaded 2 mm through the plate with the remainder of the screw protruding above the plate. Screw has a flathead crease and a mobile metal washer.
5. Metal pin - Solid metal pin which is threaded for 9 mm on either end. One end has a single hexagonal washer threaded 3 mm in.
6. Screw - Single screw with a small amount of eroded metal plate surrounding it. Screw is fully threaded with a flathead groove.
7. Screw-Single screw (see artefact 6) with slightly more eroded metal plate protruding to one side of the screw.
8. Screw - Single screw (see artefact 6 and 7) with no metal plate surrounding it and a metal washer along its length (not attached/fully mobile and removable)

1. Servo component: Most likely an automatic pilot interface. Manifold with three tubes, connected to a face plate. Face plate has three gauges with graduated wheels controlled by three turning knobs with chisel grips. Two outer wheels are largely degraded, inner wheel is mostly intact and numbered left to right ‘4, 3, 2’. Above each wheel a downwards facing arrow indicates number. Face plate labelled along the top with ‘SERVO’ between left and centre gauges and ‘SPEED’ between centre and right gauges. Beneath centre gauge plate is labelled ‘AILERON’. Labelling beneath two outer gauges is discernible but indecipherable. At the bottom centre of the plate the makers mark reads ‘SPERRY GYROSCOPIC CO INC. BROOKLYN NY’.

2. Threaded fitting: Short, wide threaded piece with hexagonal end threaded onto a longer fitting with a thin threaded section, a wide hexagonal centre, and a slightly narrower, smooth section. Entire piece is hollow. The end of the smooth section has broken off, possibly with the remnants of another fitting inside it.

1. Radio capacitor - large, brown, rectangular capacitor. Two triangular ends jut out on either end of the base, with a large screw in each. Removable base with four empty screw holes and evidence of stamping (indecipherable). On top of capacitor sit the positive and negative connections, one of which has the remnants of a connection still attached. Top of the capacitor has a number of raised stamps reading ‘CORNELL-DUBILIER’, ‘CAPACITOR TYPE 197-6’, ‘AMPS 6’, ‘KC 1000’, ‘MFD 003’, and ‘3000 VOLTS’.
2. Metal casing - cylindrical metal casing with a rounded top. Completely hollow, large amounts of erosion.
3. Coil coupling- hexagonal screw top visible, remainder of screw encased in thick, coiled wires. Heavily eroded.
4. Radio component - Large metal box which is shaped like a rectangle, except halfway along the shape shifts down a few cm so it looks like two halves of a rectangle that didn’t meet exactly in the centre. Inside the box sit two cylinders held by rectangular frames at each end. The frames have a number of holes designed to hold wooden dowel pieces and square metal rods. The pieces are in varying states of remaining in the holes or fallen to the base of the box. The cylinders themselves are covered in continuous circular grooves.

Glass jar (two compartments). Ink Bottle - clear glass jar, cylindrical with a small waist approx. 24 mm from top. Bottle is divided into two compartments by a piece of glass across the centre of the opening. The first compartment is large and takes up the majority of the bottle. The glass separating the two sections curves away from the centre and meets the outer glass to form a very small compartment at the top of the bottle as an ink well. The top of the separating glass sits approx. 7 mm below the top of the bottle. This would allow the bottle to be tilted to fill the well without spilling the ink outside of the bottle. The well side of the bottle is embossed with ‘THIS SIDE DOWN TO FILL POCKET’. The base of the bottle is embossed with ‘SHEAFFER’S SKRIP PAT’D 1759866’. Bottle is intact, but has a few scratches and shells remnants stuck to it.

Water Container - Very large water container in the form of an upright cylinder. The sides of the cylinder exceed the height of the container lid, forming a hollow basin at the top with a single cross bar as well as a tap. Container has damaged parts, notably a cannon hole and .303 bullet hole in one side. There are a large number of smaller holes and tears in the metal and the cylinder is heavily dented. The whole cylinder is covered in a thin layer of concretion and shell.

Rubber shoe sole - reasonably intact, quite small, likely to be a child’s shoe. Sole has an intact lip approx. 7 mm high around its exterior. Bottom of sole has grip ribbing and a raised oval and circle that may have once held a manufacturing mark.

Shoe sole - leather. Fragile and damaged. Only ball of sole and section of heel remain. Possibly a woman’s shoe due to dimensions.

Coin - 2 1/2 Guilder, 1931. Embossed on both sides. Obverse side reads “WILHELMINA KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN”. The reverse side reads “MUNT VAN HET KONINGRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN”. The coin has a seahorse privy mark to the left of the Kingdom of the Netherlands coat of arms and the mint mark of the Royal Dutch Mint - the caduceus - to the right.

Glass measuring vessel - clear, cylindrical, glass vessel. Broken, 3 conjoining parts, remainder of vessel missing. Largest piece is complete base, and sides of vessel up to approx, 60 mm. Other two pieces fit together and fit on top of the first piece to bring complete height to 98 mm. Along one side of the largest piece and continuing onto the conjoining pieces are embossed graduated lines, as well as ‘OUNCES’ and the numbers 1 to 4 increasing up the vessel. The pieces are all heavily cracked and the base has a small hole in the bottom. The base is also embossed with the number ‘2’.

Bullet cartridge: Probably a British 303 although measurements differ by a few mm. Very faint evidence of cartridge markings at the base but nothing discernible. Slight erosion at the mouth of the cartridge. Hollow interior.

Port or toilet AND rubber seal AND spring (x2)

Port OR toilet- Framework for metal port hole or toilet base. Large metal frame shaped like a solid “U”. Back of the frame has a raised circular frame around a hollow centre (the port hole). This circular frame is studded around its circumference holding in place a rubber coating. At the base of the frame is a lever mechanism designed to open the hole, with one movable metal bar which is stamped with “28F 4008”. Beside it is an immobile, slightly indented metal handle. At the interior left top of the hole is a large cylindrical protrusion that has a threaded section with a heavily eroded hexagonal washer and a long metal post at its end. The interior top of the frame is stamped with “28-F-1094” and beneath that “1440”. The exterior of the frame has a raised edge around the perimeter, then a dip, a second raised frame, then a second dip inside which the hole and covering sit. The left side of the interior frame has a large metal ring attached to it. The large, circular hole covering is hinged at the top of the second raised frame. It is stamped with “ALCOA” and “28-F-??95”. A small eroded hole obscures the first two numbers in the latter stamp. The base of the circular covering has a diamond shaped latch.

Rubber seal - Long rubber seal, broken into sections. Some sections still relatively soft, others very brittle. Badly eroded.

Spring (x1) - Short section of wide, loosely coiled spring. Some rust but no real erosion.

Spring (x1) - Short section of a tightly coiled spring with a straightened section of wire protruding from the end. Some rust and concretion.
