Unkown parts of crashed Wellington

Hi all,

up to day I have here any unknown parts from a Wellington crash location near Kiel (crashed 1941). Maybe someone can help to identify this parts…

#1

Part of aluminium, three liquid connections (left, top and right),
Stamp with “W6216-4” AND “BIRMAL”

#2
Part of aluminium (measure: ca. 28 x 18 x 5cm),
Stamps with “SYKO SD-2” AND “SERIAL NO. 2695”
This part must be from strip cipher, look here:

Maybe someone have more detail about this unit?

#3 (3 pictures)
Part of brass

#4
Broken part of aluminium, with a scale from 180 to 250 degree and a “SW”.
Maybe a part from compass unit?

Thanks for help !

The photo showing the item marked in degrees is from the compass, somewhere I have a complete one that is identical. The compass rings are normally bakelite though some were brass. The brass item is part of a potentiometer if i remember correctly.

A 5C/529 plug is often used in association with electrically heated flying clothing.

Thanks for the posting Rocketeer !

What is it for a plug with REF-No- “5c/529” ?
Do you have a idea ?

Today I found on this crash site a identification plate with follow signs:

REF No. 10K/22 SERIAL NO. 13096
ROTARY TRANSFORMER TYPE 29
INPUT 24 VOLTS 16 AMPS
OUTPUT 1230 VOLTS 0.2 AMPS

Looking for a picture of this transformer.
