Can Anybody Identify This Bomber Instrument?

Hi to all the experts out there who continually amaze me with the level of knowledge exhibited on this forum.

I purchased this item from a guy in Germany who said his Dad took it from a crashed british bomber, Its an ammeter, but what its function was I have no idea. Grateful for any ideas!

Thanks for that, guys.

Does anybody have a picture of one “in – situ” ?

Cheers

I agree with anneorac, its an aerial current ammeter as used with the T1154/R1155 set. So, the story that it came from a bomber sounds quite plausible.

If it’s a bomber instrument surely it should be an Oboe 😀

As far as I know these were part of the radio equipment. I believe if you look at photos of T.1154 transmitters you will see one of these attached to it.

Sorry if this is duff info but I’m doing it from memory and haven’t had a chance to look up anything yet.
