Broadhurst Clarkson Scout Regiment Spotting Telescope

[Badger]

Here's a question that was posed to Peter Laidler in the VIP Interviews (click here) section of our site. Peter thought that it was such a good question, that it merited being re-posted here in the main forums so that everyone could benefit from groups answers.

Hello Peter

I have a Broadhurst Clarkson Scout Regiment Spotting Telescope. However the glands require repacking. (presently packed with 4by2)

In your article you quote Felt Hatters Green as the material used by the MOD. I can get felt by the yard-some thick-some thin-some dense and some open textured.

Would you have a description/approximate thickness or be able to specify a weight for the felt. Or would an old felt trilby be the answer?

The manual says the felt is impregnated-If so with what is it impregnated.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards and thanks for the many informative articles you have on the site.

Les

Regards,
Doug
