I haven’t been able to find a clear picture of the Data Plate for an RL-31-C Reel Unit I’m restoring.
Does anyone have a picture of one that is a 1940s vintage you could share?
The one example I have found from a French website isn’t clear enough to make out all the nomenclature.

Re: RL-31 Reel Unit Data Plate
Thanks Kirk! Just what I needed. I can get the measurements of the mounting friction screw holes off the leg and then I’m in business.
Rescued two stands from a friend who bought them at an auction. They were converted to saw horse duty as I imagine many were.
I’m mounting one on the floor at the rear of an MBT trailer. Filling the rest of the trailer with a BC-5 chest, EE-8-A field phones, EE-89 Repeater, C-114 Loading coils, a BD-71 Switchboard and an EE-65-F wire testing unit. Searching for an MC-123 wire pike.

Re: RL-31 Reel Unit Data Plate
If you find a couple of those MC-123 pike poles, keep me in mind
If you're interested in the top one, I probably have the artwork for it.

Re: RL-31 Reel Unit Data Plate
Who else is out there capable of making these plates besides dataplates4u?
I ask because I need a data plate made, and I contacted them.. however, Robert informs me he is very busy.
In the past robert has made me a one off plate, and it was perfect?! but apparently business has him swamped.
Anyone out there making date tags/plates?
