Simplex Chalmit No.506 400w SON Gear Box 'Toilet Cistern'

A recent acquisition, here you see a heavy duty Simplex Chalmit gear box for running 400w SON Lamps on 220/240v supplies. This is a big old heavy lump and must have cost a fortune new. Also it looks a bit like an old high level toilet cistern!

Looks marine spec?, like for oil rigs or large shipping?

Now that's a beast of a gearbox!

Chalmit did mainly specialise in marine sector so that makes sense.

That's an industrial looking beast! Certainly looks like a toilet cistern. Very Happy
