I was at a wrecking yard picking up a couple continous duty solenoids for my bus wiring and found these neat things in the same old ambulance carcass.. I know I need em.. but would like to know what they are first.. :) :) I think the 2 on the left are heavy duty blinkers things for the lights.. but the 2 things on the right??? I also got a classy looking 12v air compressor and a super cool voltage and amperage combination guage.. thanks.. -Gar  SignatureOl' Gar and Mahoney...

Signaturebill Theory don't mean squat if it don't work. > Depending on the number of connectors, probably diodes or SCRs on a > heat sink. If they came off an ambulance they are most likely diodes. In fact they might even be from an ambulance I designed. The current load from the on board equipment and lights caused huge loads on the alternator. Some units replaced the standard alternator diode pack with higher rated external diodes. Newer units sequence the equipment rather than presenting a single, sudden load to the electrical system.

Think of them a check valves for DC. The other to a K-series Potter-brumfield relays (often call ice cube relays) and they can be used for just about anything. Good Catch!

You've still got a picture of your Mercedes rotated 90 degrees, at least on my monitor. And I didn't see what you were talking about. OK, I read the rest of the posts and found the images. I concur with the other posts,they appear to be diodes on heat sinks.

He sure did.. just asked my brother.. He also bought Minneapolis Moline farm Tractors ect. in Sioux City.. That couldn't have been at the same dealership could it? SignatureOl' Gar and Mahoney...

I don't think the IH truck dealer sold other farm implements. However, after my father died in 56, my mother married a fellow that sold Massey Harris stuff for a short time. But, as to the truck, if it was purchased from the 40's up to '52, it may have been my dad. In 53 he left IH and went to sell Mack trucks. Chuck -- Liberals.
