sturgis Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Wondering if anyone recognises where this instrument panel comes from. I think it is US as it has a label stating 'INCREASE' just below the left hand knob. It was found this week in a German position outside Bastogne, guessing that the US cleared this area at some point. It could be artillery related but could also be a an internal vehicle instrument ?? Its part of a larger cast alloy piece of equipment, not steel. Thanks for looking ! Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturgis Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 No one ?? The middle dial seems to work off a spring balance. The right hand dial is geared between the 'increase' knob and the slotted key ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I definitely don't see it as a vehicle part. I think your suggestion of it being part of a predictor/director is very possible but that is not something that I have a good knowledge of so I can't help much. Someone must know...

I am still trawling images of all kinds of equipment...its an odd one, considering it clearly shows fragmentation and distortion from a force of some sort and was in the middle of some woods so can only be from a field set-up of some sort ??
