Bren Transit Chest Blue Prints?

[Peter Laidler]

The A&G* Carpenters used to repair them using the pitch-pine from unserviceable TABLES, Folding, GS 6'. Remember them Tankie? I think that the folding legs were made to amputate fingers. The later ones have inbuilt spacers between the guillotine type legs to prevent amputations. Mind you, it's taken since 1920 or so to incorporate this safety mechanism...... Don't want to rush things.

* A&G = Armament and General section at large workshops

Yes Pete! You will recall they were used for just about EVERY conceivable task! Either in Barracks, or In the Field! A Grey Blanket, G.S thrown over one as a table cloth/cover.
And it was a desk, a display top, even a table!..............

An extremely versatile, strong & well made item of kit!
I possess Two in new unissued condition. That I bought a couple of years back.
From a surplus dealer. If you ever meet Me at a show with my Armourer Display set up.
You will see them deployed there!
