RAF Bomb Selector?

Picked this up today on my travels. It appears to be part of some sort of British bomb selector being marked “to bomb stations” and “to selector box”. 5d/1063. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

It is a RAF Pre-selector unit, type B, for the Bomb release system Vickers Wellington

Interesting piece, What you have there is a 16 point Type B preselector unit as fitted to RAF aircraft.Yours is missing the lower cover and the top flip up cover. Not sure if those three brass screws should be there on the roller? Air Ministry might be able to confirm that for you.
