Some background:
The Space Defense Robot (SDR) Phalanx was the final Destroid designed during Space War I to act as a fleet defense mecha. After the space worthy conversion of the CVS-101 Prometheus and the SLV-111 Daedalus carriers, these ships were docked with the SDF-1 Macross and it became clear that this new gigantic vessel required a special mecha unit for medium range defense.
Development of the Phalanx began during the war in July 2009 and quickly reached rollout in December of that year, as it was based on proven segments. Roughly 20 Phalanx destroids were built aboard the SDF-1 Macross shipboard factories.
Armed with dozens of missiles in two large launchers, the Phalanx made an excellent semi-mobile missile-based battery (minor variants featured armaments such as a head-mounted gatling gun, or different sensor arrays). During the final battle of Space War I against the Zentraedi Bodol Zer Main Fleet, the Phalanx units were repainted and refitted to fire long-range reaction warheads for use against space warships. When the SDF-1 Macross broke through the Zentraedi fleet defenses and entered the interior of the massive Fulbtzs Berrentzs command vessel, all the Phalanx units unleashed their missiles and aided in the swift destruction of the enemy flagship.

Manufacturer/Model: Ross 5X40 Mk V 6E/392 5X40
Field of View: Probably same as Mk. IV i.e. 10 deg = 175 yd/1,000 yd; 50 APFOV deg
Weight: 846 gr
Exit Pupil: 8 mm
Serial #/Year of Manufacture: 20485 = 1947/8 - early 1950's
Notes: The marking 6E/392 on the right prism plate is a Royal Air Force stores code for this type of instrument. The MK V is a fixed focus aircraft spotting and maritime reconnaissance binocular succeeding the 5X40 Mk. IV 6E/383 (See Ross X5 Bino.Prism Mk IV: www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/4372051428/in/set-72157623... ). Like the Mk IV it accepts a large one-piece rubber eye shield absent on this example. The Mk V has silver colored flat desiccator vent plugs with pin spanner holes (for dry air purging) while the Mk IV’s are red painted domed ones slotted for a bladed screwdriver.
The Mk V was introduced 1947/48, and used by the Royal Air Force at least into the 1990’s. Serial numbers indicate about 2,000 were built, the first 1,000 marked Mk V and the later ones Mk 5. William Reid has written that the binocular is a 5X military version of Ross’ civilian Tropical 7X40 and 10X50 models whereas Ross researcher, Terence Wayland, believes the Mk V was introduced before the Tropical series, and the Tropicals were, in fact, civilian versions of the Mk V. At any rate, its build is very much the same as the Tropicals (excepting the fixed focus oculars) and actually quite a bit different and superior to that of the Mk IV. Though the Mk IV and V have obvious similarities - both are 5X40 configuration, fixed focus, dry-air vented, and of Porro II construction - , the Mk V differs from the Mk IV by having: 1) rubber gaskets sealing almost all joints, 2) a wide-angle Erfle 3 lens eyepiece, 3) the eyepiece field lens cemented to the prism cluster to reduce light reflecting surfaces and increase light transmission, 4) almost all light reflecting surfaces coated, 5) prism plates secured with screwed down gasketed rings, 6) mechanical adjustment of fixed focus to suit individual eyesight is simpler and easier to perform, 8) less weight and being more compact i.e. 234 grams lighter and 2.5 cm shorter (See View 2: www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/8020965844/in/photostream).
When using this binocular one of the first things noticed is that it is exceptionally sharp to the edge of the field, at least 85%. This exceeds the edge performance of the Mk IV by a great deal which is sharp to about 65% at best. This particular Mk V’s view was noticeably dimmer than that of the Mk IV because the exterior surfaces of the eyelenses had numerous rub markings penetrating the glass as well as the anti-reflective coating. These markings were removed by polishing with jeweler's rouge (ferric oxide) and the view is now slightly brighter than that of the Mk IV (and if the anti-reflective coatings on the exterior of the eyelenses were intact, it would be brighter still). Overall, the optics of this binocular are outstandingly good.
This binocular is pictured and described in Seeger's grey book on page 214.

Rolls Royce owned Supermarine Spitfire MK XIX PS853 inside the Rolls Royce Hanger at East Midlands Airport on the 11/8/23
These cars took part in two of the races at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005. On the left is the 1961 Cooper T53 of Chris Bullimore with a Coventry Climax FPF 1,500cc engine which competed in the HGPCA Pre-66 Grand Prix Cars race. Jack Brabham had won the Drivers' World Championship in 1960 with a Cooper T53 in the last year of the 2½ litre Formula, and in 1961 the Cooper works team fielded the similar, but lighter T55. The T53 continued to be used in 1961, with a 1½ litre engine, by private entrants and this car, chassis F1-15-61 went to Hap Sharp in the USA who drove it in the USA Grand Prix in 1961 and 1962. The car on the right is the 1958 Lola Mk1 Prototype of Richard Wills that had recently been restored by Hall & Hall and which competed in the 1950s Drum-Braked Sports Racing Cars race. It was the first Lola to be built, originally powered by a Coventry Climax 4-cylinder 1,098cc FWA engine to compete in the 1,100cc sports car category, and finished in second place in its second race driven by its builder Eric Broadley. It had great success in the hands of Eric Broadley and Peter Gammon, and as orders for the car increased Eric Broadley retired from racing in 1959 to handle the production of the car. Early models, like this prototype, had an aluminium body with the later ones being fashioned in fibre glass, and around forty examples of the Mk 1 were built. Richard Wills' car now has the 1,216cc version of the Coventry Climax FWA engine, rounded to 1,220cc in the programme of this meeting.
Manufacturer/Model: Ross Binocular Prismatic No. 6 Mk I 4 X 24
Field of View: 12 deg = 213 yd/1,000 yd; APFOV 48 deg
Weight: 565 gr
Exit Pupil: 6 mm
Serial #/Year of Manufacture: 3520 = 1936.
Notes: Specimen has War Ministry arrow. No. 6 is military model appearing identical to the civilian “Steplow” model. Porro II design with prisms cemented together and the field lens cemented to prism face to increase light transmission by reducing number of air/glass surfaces.
5,000 of these binoculars were ordered in 1936 for use by anti-aircraft searchlight units, but due to unsatisfactory performance the type was declared obsolescent in December 1936 on the same day it was officially introduced. Reid in "Binoculars in the British Army Part III" footnotes correspondence suggesting that the binocular was selected in consideration of women members of anti-aircraft batteries. Although some researchers doubt the complete order of 5,000 was ever completed, an example serial numbered 4631 has been seen. This model was eventually replaced by the No. 5 Mk I 7X50 which was soon to replaced by the No.5 Mk II 7X50 in 1938.
This example has seen a lot of hard use and even though declared obsolescent, the binocular would have remained in service until it was no longer serviceable. Many of these are found with chipped prisms possibly because the binocular is unstable when set upright upon the objective ends and is easily upset. The view is nicely sharp, bright and wide-angle although of low magnification (Note that many of the early Galilean binoculars were likewise 4X but with an extremely narrow field of view). Recreationally, it's pleasant to use but not hard to see how it would have been unsuitable for its intended purpose.

Massey Ferguson Mk. 1 MF65 (1957-64) Engine 2500cc Diesel
Registration 934 HRR (Nottinghamshire)
MASSEY FERGUSON SET

Designed by Hermann Klemm and introduced in 1956 (USA), by which time Ferguson had merged with Massey Harris the TO35 was marketed under the Ferguson name. The new Ferguson 35 was launched in the United States on 5 January 1955 and 1956 in the UK, at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. The FE35 was a successor to the Ferguson TE20, which ceased production in the same year. Whilst the TE20 had been an all-grey tractor (earning it the nickname Little Grey Fergie), the FE35 had a grey shell and wheels, but a bronze finish for the body. Three types were built; agricultural, industrial and vineyard. In 1957, after 73,655 units had been produced, the tractor was rebadged as the MF35, and the colour scheme was changed to red and grey. In 1959 Massey Ferguson purchased Perkins Engines, and began using a new diesel Perkins engine in the MF35
Power came from a 50,5 hp 4 cylinder Perkins engine with inboard disc brakes and optional differential lock and power steering. An improved Mk.2 was introduced at the 1960 Smithfield show, with a power increase to 56.8 hp diff-lock was now standard and road lights became available as an option. in 1962 a factory fitted twelve forward and four reverse gear Multi-Power box became available as a £ 70 option
