Man U! Wash your mouth out. For my sins I'm a Stoke supporter. The Internet stream is generally blocked during home matches - copyright - but there's a 1kW am Transmitter which the B40 is happy to fish out of the aether, when it's working 
Yes Al, I think that's what they are. As I remember there were Screw lock and Bayonet lock (62GB ?) versions. The Navy favoured the Screw lock versions I think. When I worked on that sort of thing, for Plessey, we had a large Catalogue with all the different configurations shown. You had to construct a great big long number specifying the shell size, Type, Pins, Insert, Orientation, Backshell, cable clamp, Finish, etc, etc. You put in the Order and waited several weeks for them to come. Sometimes they even fitted! If you were lucky a helpful soul at the other end rang up and said 'You do realise that AAAA/BBBB/CCCCC..... doesn't mate with PPPP/QQQQ/RRRRR .......'
The insert can be moved round to different positions and I've got some tools to take some sizes to bits.
