Put me down for a signed copy 🙂
Very nice picture and a slightly different control wheel.
Lots of black paint, which aircraft is it?
thanks -I nicked it :diablo:
Could this be the cathode of a “monoscope tube” which would have been used to generate the fixed pattern on the real screen then?
The rumour was that these were silver (more likely silver-plated though).
No better pic of the GPI I’m afraid. But to go back to the original question here’s a picture of the df control wheel.
Bri, were the Astrographs ever exchanged for the GPIs on the Lincolns or did Astrographs cease to be used?
Here’s a picture of the GPI MK1B 6B/406. As you can see it has hooks to attach to the Astrograph frame. I think it projects a spot representing the position of the aircraft onto the chart table. The wind speed and direction are dialled-in and the motors and gears keep the dead-reckoning spot on track.

😡 Let’s not beat about the bush here, “passing stuff off in a fraudulent manner” is not a matter of for the individual conscience nor is it an amusing way of teaching a fool a lesson.
It is CRIME pure and simple.
Thanks all for details of the BFP brackets.
A plan is taking shape :diablo:
“So ultimately this thread is useless”
No, I don’t think so. If you read it carefully it is very useful.
Thanks Tangmere for presenting the evidence in such a devastating and yet still witty manner.:D
OK, no offence intended just wanted a second opinion on the value 😉
ahaa! so he posted on “seen on EBay”….
The net is closing :diablo:
