No32 telescope case No8

[Peter Laidler]

Just looking through the No32/L1A1 telescope EMER for some technical stuff and came across the spec for refinishing the No8 case at Field and Base workshops.
To be thoroughly cleaned by either acid dip or bead blasting. Where phosphating facilities exist it is to be phosphated and painted
PAINT, finishing, spraying, alkyd vehicles, high gloss, deep bronze green

Where phosphating facilities do not exist then
PAINT, priming, red oxide of iron or zinc-chrome, spraying or brushing. Followed by;
PAINT, undercoat for finishing paint, alkyd, vehicle, brushing or spraying, dark admiralty grey
PAINT, finishing, spraying or painting, alkyd vehicles, high gloss, deep bronze green

I expect there will be some health and safety issues with this paint but nobody really cared then or now.....
