VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the "MUREX Ground Power Unit, " designed for aircraft servicing and starting. The ad features illustrations of various famous aircraft models at the top, such as "COMET" and "HERMES IV, " which have been serviced by Murex Ground Power Units. Below these illustrations is an image of the ground power unit itself—a mobile cart equipped with cables and machinery to supply electrical current for servicing and starting airplanes. The text highlights that this unit has been specifically engineered to provide high-tension ignition power, continuous direct-current turbo-prop revving, as well as single-phase induction motor turning start-up service for servo-motors. It emphasizes that the standard unit provides a current of 600 amperes continuously at 28 volts for engine starting pre-flight checks and post-flight maintenance on battery-operated systems. Key selling points listed in bullet points include: - Supplies high current at constant voltage - Starts main engines under load—both turboprops or reciprocating - Eliminates costly hand cranking - Self-starting – no external source of energy required At the bottom right corner, there's additional branding with "MUREX AIRCRAFT GROUND POWER UNITS" along with contact information including an address in Waltham Cross, Herts. , England, and a telephone number. Overall, this caption captures both the technical aspects advertised about the product as well as its practical applications within aviation maintenance during what appears to be mid-twentieth century based on design elements typical of that era's advertising style.
