Hi guys…
Whilst its pi… sorry, pouring down with rain on this Bank holiday Friday, would any of you have an idea as to what the device is and its purpose as circled on this sectioned DB605?

And here is the best close-up I can extract from the same image:

A larger version of this surviving DB605 on display at the Flygvapenmuseum in Sweden can be found here

Top man Fluffy… very much appreciated 🙂
Out of interest, did you know that from memory or do you have/know of any published sources on the DB60x series? My library is distinctly lacking a decent tome or two on German aero-engines so any pointers appreciated.
