The below text is from the book "THE POLISH CONTRIBUTION
TO THE ULTIMATE ALLIED VICTORY IN THE SECOND WORLD
WAR" by Tadeusz Modelski:
Page 221
"The thirteenth Polish invention: at the end of 1941, the technical
unit of the Polish General Staff in London introduced the British
Ministry of War production to a new improved model (the old
model was invented in Poland in 1937) of the mine detector
constructed in Scotland in 1941 the Polish engineer, J. Kosacki.
The British authorities accepted it as the best one of its time,
praising the Poles, and ordered mass production, under the name
of "Mine Detector Polish Mark I". All of the British Army was
issued with the detector; 500 mine detectors were used by General
B. Montgomery's Eight Army, to clear the terrain before the El
Alamein attack."
Anybody has any details of the construction?
