0 fv1609 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 As you have spotted the NSC 6650 covers Optical Instruments, Test Equipment The Domestic Management Code that precedes the NSN is V7 & that is Test Equipment specially designed for Fire Control Equipments & Instruments. So at a guess it might be to do with testing Flash Spotting Instruments in artillery location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 deanthebean Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 well that's a new direction thanks for your best Guess Info much appreciated thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fv1609 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Yes Flash Spotting Instruments was just a guess, but a guess can be a good trigger for people to be ready to say it is wrong & then we get to find out what it really is. :-D There are two more avenues for me to explore. EMER INSTRUMENTS although it may have migrated to EMER TEST & MEASUREMENT when that series was created. If I have nothing in there I'll look through the detailed indexes of A 001 respectively.

It won't be Flash Spotting because it's dated 1988 and Flash Spotting was long gone by then. :-D Scaled in 'Mils", and with filters and "Day" lamps... alignment unit for one of the tank gunsights? It's black, and AC mains powered so presumably workshops kit. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
