I hope I'm not intruding, but you have me fascinated by this little piece of kit! I don't really know much about what's being talked about, but if I could throw in a guess, it looks like a radar guidance system, something I've never heard of the Germans having before...

Something gives me the wild idea that it could be a magneticly guided system though, something well within the the capabilities of WWII science. Could that be it?

Thanks Waleed,

Surprisingly similar the German and Soviet ones.

As tiger75 has not been around for a while, anyone is welcome to post a new question to get the quiz moving again.

OK, since you've started it again I might as well have a go at it.

Could it be an early type of (maybe Japanese) Acoustic Locators...?
A smaller type of this early 1920s US type :lol:

You are on the right tracks, Japanese yes, but not sound locators

Could it be an air-raid siren driven by compressed air?, Varjag
