1. Converter - Large hollow cylindrical converter. Set into a rectangular base which rises into a trapezium shape to support the cylinder. The base is hollow underneath with four empty screw holes in fortified corners. There is a crossbar through the centre of the rectangle with a large hole in the centre and three screws (one on one side of the hole and two on the other). The hole is larger than the screws an unlikely to have contained a fourth screw. Embossed on top of the base at one end are the letters “BRC”, two more figures which are indistinguishable, then “100”. The cylinder itself has two large screws on each side, and a metal plate attached to the top with two small screws. The markings on the plate are heavily worn, but some of what is discernible reads “230 D.C.” and “AMPS”. The end of the cylinder is also marked with “H.V” and “EA-80925” There are three screw holes at the top and base of each end of the cylinder. The ends of the cylinder also have large metal protrusions in a “U” shape. Each side of the “U” has a large metal screw going through it with a black screw cap on the outside. The base of the “u” has a circular plate with four screws and a long twisted wire attached to the top and base. Inside the “u”, extending towards the inside of the cylinder is a large circular gear which is attached to the large, wire, rotating centre of the converter. |

Back of base plate numbered with ‘1840-I’. On top of the base plate sits a large square section with hollowed slits on both sides, 18 mm from the base, supported by small circular pieces inside the slit. On top of the square section sits a circular plate with a flat edge. It has a single centre screw and rotates slightly. The plate is engraved with a curved arrow pointing to the right, and the words ‘TURN TO UNLOCK’ and ‘PRESS TO RELEASE’. Top left hand section of the plate has some damage/erosion. |

1. Servo component: Most likely an automatic pilot interface. Manifold with three tubes, connected to a face plate. Face plate has three gauges with graduated wheels controlled by three turning knobs with chisel grips. Two outer wheels are largely degraded, inner wheel is mostly intact and numbered left to right ‘4, 3, 2’. Above each wheel a downwards facing arrow indicates number. Face plate labelled along the top with ‘SERVO’ between left and centre gauges and ‘SPEED’ between centre and right gauges. Beneath centre gauge plate is labelled ‘AILERON’. Labelling beneath two outer gauges is discernible but indecipherable. At the bottom centre of the plate the makers mark reads ‘SPERRY GYROSCOPIC CO INC. BROOKLYN NY’. 2. Threaded fitting: Short, wide threaded piece with hexagonal end threaded onto a longer fitting with a thin threaded section, a wide hexagonal centre, and a slightly narrower, smooth section. Entire piece is hollow. The end of the smooth section has broken off, possibly with the remnants of another fitting inside it. |

1. Servo manifold - Long, cylindrical, hollow metal barrel with five protrusions. Three barrels extend in a row from the bottom of the main manifold cylinder. All three end with handle screws and are embossed on each side with an anti clockwise arrow at the word “OPEN” at the top, and a clockwise arrow and the word “CLOSE” at the bottom. One of the barrels is also marked with “297-3”. From on side of the main manifold barrels extends a threaded sections with a large hexagonal coupling attached. The other side of the main manifold barrel has three hollow, eroded couplings. At the op of the main manifold barrel extends the fifth protrusion, a final barrel which is again topped with a handle screw and embossed with a clockwise arrow and the word “CLOSE” and and anti clockwise arrow next to a heavily eroded word which is likely “OPEN”. |

1. Sextant: largely intact, frame is a basic triangle with a graduated arc at the base and cross bars extending from each side and the base into the centre. Thin, 3 mm diameter legs support the two base corners while a larger, 14 mm diameter conical leg supports the point. Where the cross bars meet a screw penetrates then extends down to form a centre support leg. On the left side of the frame three circular lenses sit on a horizontal screw. The first is black with no visibility and is fully rotational. The second is a transparent blue and is partially rotational. The third is a transparent green and immovable. These lenses sit in front the horizon mirror frame (glass piece removed). The frame is rectangular (long sides vertical) with the bottom half solid and upper half hollow for visibility. Further along the left side of the frame there are four glass filters. The filters are circular lenses set into square frames which rotate along a single screw. The first two filters a fairly rotational and are dark blue and green. The second two filters are far more stiff and show less visibility. Along the centre of the frame lies the index arm. The arm is circular at the point of the sextant, and swivels along the graduated arc at the base. At the circular point sits the index mirror frame. Like the horizon mirror frame the glass piece has been removed. The index frame’s long sides sit on the horizontal, and the piece is completely solid and held in place by three screws at its back. The other end of the index arm swivels almost the full extent of the graduated arc. It supports a plastic graduated drum, numbered ’0’ to ‘50’, as well as a locking device. At the right base point of the sextant sits the telescope, with the eye piece facing the centre of the sextant and the telescope lens facing out. |
