Richard Farrant Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 At least we can rule out a 'boarding pass press' Out of my field Clive, will leave this one, unless I spot a clue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Well, the image blows up to an equally horrible undecipherable image - thanks Clive! Carrying handles front and rear so designed to be portable, or at least moved regularly. What looks like a screen print of a Wheatstone bridge on the side - information or manufacturer logo? Possibly rolls of either print paper or film. Shot in the dark which I think is wrong - portable developing equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is photographic recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Laser reciever or optical power meter? Ah missed it had been solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Suslowicz Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yes well none Chris sorry I can't do this in fancy text. In a Chinese takeaway on the phone thought we were eating at home.For bonus points have you got model and mark? I'd guess that it's the early WW2 version (well, part of the complete unit, anyway), and the Recorder, SR, No.1 Mk.I but that is only a guess. Development came to a stop after WW1 due to budget cuts and only really restarted in the 1930s. I'll just point you at the late (and sadly missed) Alister Mitchell's paper on Artillery Location: http://www.royalsignals.org.uk/articles/SRS/srs.html Chris.

Very nearly Chris, it is a No.1 Mk III :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
