There is no indication of wires or anything for a battery unit. Just the front Dyno.
I also never saw a Raleigh with Horizontal drop outs?? Was this common back in the 1940's ??
Thank you so much for your information...

Rear-facing ends are the norm for just about any Raleigh built during the Nottingham days with bolt-on stays and slack frame angles. Usually the 28" wheeled models, but a few 26x1-3/8" models (again, the slack angle frames) were built this way too.
