Mystery Object Help please
When I recently won a quantity of WW1 & WW2 badges at an auction the description was words to the effect of,
'Military badges and Mystery Object' Can anyone tell me what the 'Object' I have is please? Knowing that some Forum members collect General Militaria I am keeping my fingers crossed..... Regards |

Water pipe in/out has been cut off. Just a guess. regards

I'm thinking it's a part of a coupling for something like a large multi cored cable or something similar.
Does it come apart, is the copper cap fixed. |

Hi Steve
As an ex-radar fitter I'm pretty sure it is part of a cavity magnetron for use in radar transmitters. This gives a bit of info plus photos: http://vc.airvectors.net/ttwiz_03.html. You could also contact the Air Defence Museum at the former RAF Neatishead to positively ID it. All the best Graham
