Issued with A.L.No.19/F
(b) The upward and downward identification lamps are
controlled from the signal switchbox (64) on the
right hand side of the cockpit. The switchbox has a
switch for each lamp and a morsing key, and provides
for steady illumination or morse signalling from each
lamp or both. The switch lever has three positions:
MORSE, OFF and STEADY.
(c) The spring pressure on the morsing key can be adjusted
by turning the small ring at the top left hand corner
of the switchbox, adjustment being maintained by a
latch engaging a number of notches in the ring.
The range of movement of the key can be adjusted by
opening the cover and adjusting the screw and locknut
at the centre of the cover.
40. Landing lamps
The landing lamps, one on each side of the aeroplane,
are housed in the undersurface of the main plane. They
are lowered and raised by a finger lever (36) below the
instrument panel. Each lamp has an independent
electrical circuit and is controlled by a switch (16)
above the pneumatic control lever (36) with the switch
in the central position both lamps are off; when the
switch is moved to the left or to the right, the port
or the starboard lamp respectively, is illuminated.
A lever (15) is provided to control the dipping of both
landing lamps. On pulling up the lever the beam is
dipped.
41. Signal discharger
A straight pull of the toggle control on the left hand
side of the cockpit fires one of the cartridges out of
the top of the fuselage, aft of the cockpit.
DE-ICING EQUIPMENT
42. Windscreen de-icing
(a) A tank containing the de-icing solution is mounted on the
left-hand side of the cockpit directly above the bottom
longeron. A cock is mounted above the tank, and a pump
and a needle valve to control the flow of the liquid are
mounted below the undercarriage emergency lowering
control. Liquid is pumped from the tank to a spray at
the base of the windscreen, from which it is sprayed
upwards over the front panel of the screen.
