Generations of both BBC and Post Office engineers will immediately recognise these distinctive standard issue cases, now in production for over half a century. Manufactured from quality cow hides in the UK, they are finished with a distinctive straw or cross grain, and are available in the original tan colour. The design and fittings have been tried and tested for many years and perhaps offer the ultimate in utility and endurance.
Model No. 4
This compact wallet with zip closure and room for nine tools, fits easily in the briefcase. Closed size 229 × 114 × 32mm.
Model No. 3
With running loops for twelve tools, and a pouch, secured by press-studs, for accessories, this wallet has a zip closure and flat carrying handle. Suitable for carrying on location for running repairs. Closed size 317 × 178 × 45mm.
Model No. 2
As model No. 3, but with deeper gusset for greater capacity, useful with larger sizes of screwdrivers. Closed size 317 × 178 × 75mm.
Model No. 5
This should take a serious electronic maintenance toolkit. Fastened on three sides by a single heavy duty zip, this case has two flaps which fold out from the interior, one with elasticated loops and one with running loops, giving four surfaces to hold up to thirty-one tools. A flat carrying handle is provided. Closed size 330 × 225 × 95mm.
Model No. 6
Often used by site installation engineers, the No 6 is offered in two types, with either webbing shoulder strap or two side carrying handles. A particularly strong zip opens on three sides to give access to the two tool carrying pallets which have running loops to hold up to twenty-two tools. The hinged pallet has a documentation pocket on its back, and reveals a pouch (390 × 120 × 50mm approx), for accessories, and further storage area of roughly equivalent size. Also suitable for machine maintenance toolkits, the case is a durable alternative to the briefcase style case often used. Closed size 432 × 279 × 114mm.
