Technical Details

I acquired this British box used on eBay from Brian Trevelyan in 2005.

This box is 77 mm. long, 128 mm. wide, 69 mm. high, and weighs 283 g. It is a double channel chest box consisting of an aluminum back plate, a bent aluminum channel, and two cylindrical rollers mounted on a common bolt through the channel. Two bolts with wing nuts hold the channel against the back plate. The back plate has 54 mm. tall vertical slots for attaching the box to a chest harness.

There are no markings on this box.

Comments

This British box is a double-sided box similar to the BlueWater box. The cover plate is bent from plate instead of cut from channel as on the BlueWater and Speleoshoppe boxes. The bolt heads protrude the back of the box, as on the BlueWater box. The plastic rollers on my box are badly worn, indicating that they did not turn freely in use.

For far more content, use a larger monitor and a full-width window.

Hundreds of cell phone users complained and asked me to for a simpler, mobile friendly site. In particular, they wanted me to limit each page to a small number of pictures and minimize my use of text. This new site provides what they asked for.
