"That's alec pierce .....I think I made those they look very familiar .....I made a bunch for another instructor here in Toronto , "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
long chat with Alex...…...
He had his cut a way collection made at a local machine shop in Toronto when he owned the Wet Shop
My set was made in early 1960s by US Divers for LA Co UW instructors and a few selected shops
My J valve is the old model 1/2 inch post and beam with a 1962 date
The remainder of the collection are usually as old - close to 60 years.
I suspect most were not around 60 years ago and if you were not involved in any way in diving
@abnfrog
One question
what is the red dye? -paint? - coloring? coating the exposed cut a away sections-- appears like new after all these years of use and abuse
It must be some sort of machinist special coating -- but what ?
