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.
