- Description
- Dull grey metal flood/spotlight used in studio settings for film-making or photography. The main body of the light is shaped like a small barrel - one end has a carved crystal bordered in thick cord and the other has a door that opens by pushing a small button in order to access the light bulb inside. The centre of the door features the Bardwell & McAlister Inc. logo. The barrel also has housing attached to the top and bottom - one contains a lever that, when pushed from side to side, moves the light bulb inside closer to or further from the crystal. Attached to the front on either side of the crystal are brackets where a filter can be fit; a Y-shaped support can be rotated 180 degrees and is adjusted by a handle on one side; an on/off switch sits in a raised metal bracket on one side, and near the switch the power cord feeds out of the barrel - the cord is wrapped in grey fabric and is coiled up and attached to the support with a short length of rope. Attached to the power cord is an orange fabric bag with a wire drawstring that contains a silver metal cylinder that could possibly be an attachment for the support.

- Description
- Two metal boxes with hinged lids and fabric handles held to the lid with metal brackets. Stencilled on the front of both boxes is “WIRELESS SET NO 19 CASE SPARE VALVES” in white. Online searches show that these boxes were originally used to house spare parts for Wireless Set No. 19 transmitters used by the British Army during World War II. Adhered to the lid of one box is a piece of white paper with a typed list of parts glued to a larger tan-coloured tag with writing obscured by the white paper - the lager tag is held to the lid with tape. A similar tag with list is inside the second box - both boxes are otherwise empty.
