The McElroy J38 (no dash) is remarkably like the Artec. Enough alike,
I think, to assume that they were made for the same military contract
or used the same supplier for several parts. The only obvious
differences are the mounting of the circuit closing switch and the
name stamped on the frame. |

This picture shows the small (5/16") eye screw and the odd shape
of the anvil strap. The big extension on the left of the anvil
strap covers all but part of the "M" on the "McElroy" which is
cast in the frame underneath the strap. |

In this picture you can see the more traditional method used by
McElroy for mounting the circuit closing switch on a separate
pivot, rather than under the right inner binding post on the
Artec. |

This view from the rear of the Artec (right) and McElroy shows that the
binding posts and shorting strap are exactly
the same. In fact both shorting straps are made of steel, not nickel
plated brass, something I noticed because the strap on my Artec is
rusted on the bottom! McElroy did not even bother to compensate for
the different heights of the inner binding posts. |
