[QUOTE=You wear this over your NBC suit sleeve..& do nothing at all..until you were pulled back to the rear of the lines... where there would be some one with a bit of kit for reading Dosimeters..it would tell them how much rads you have been exposed too..[/QUOTE]

To be told you've been exposed to a large amount of radiation after you've been exposed to it would be a downer. You would have thought they would have an inbuilt alarm that goes of when exposure was high.

I think a bit like "Enemy at the gates" were would get 1 rifle per 2 men...lol..I think after too much rads it was all over!!!..So good job WW3 didn't come!!! phew...Cheers Terry.

I used a similar device last year with work, but ours had an alarm, if the radiation levels were too high, we were told to quietly retire to a safe place lol or as I thought to myself,... just leg it !!!!

Glad you like it Terry, more than happy to send it. Thought you might get get a kick out of this aswell (although im not going to post it to you lol). You may have seen one of these. I think its called a NAIAD or something? Any way, i believe its for leaving out on a battlefield to detect chemical agents in the air. Just thought id show you some pics as we are on the subject of NBC.

Cheers.

i always thought they were to monitor a persons inactivity

The NAIAD..I haven't seen one of these for years...Have you the remote too..it's a little box of about 6 inches by 6..!! then you need plenty of D10 wire I think???..Were did you get the NAIAD from?? "if you don't mind me asking?"..All I remember is turning that knobby thing about 20 odd times??? lol...Cheers Terry. oh sorry I love the dosimeter very nice of you .....

I got it from a militaria fair for about £25 I think. I jut got it as it seemed like a an interesting piece for the money. its the only one I have seen for sale. Unfortunately I dont have the remote for it but I have no doubt that with the right power source it would work.

**Tango** · 03-07-2013, 07:55 PM

Spitace The remote nothing to do with it working!!!! It was for remoting the device out further..So the NAIAD would sit in the platoon lines & the remote would go out with the chemical sentry who would be X amount of metres up wind of your trenches etc.....fully dressed in NBC black/3 romeo..So when something cheeky came down he or she "now days" see the alert & start running around like a looney...lol.. Cheers Terry. by the way if you see any more Naiads I would be interested.. Cheers Terry.
