As per original caption - available in the Finnish version of SA-kuva.fi - "Tampereen ilmatorjunta 1944. 71.Rask.It.Ptri. Puazo 3-tj.koneen suuntauspylväs, oikea puoli. Tampere 1944.09.01" i.e. "Tampere AA in 1944. 71st Heavy AA Battery. Puazo 3 fire director, right side. Tampere 1944.09.01".

Ummmhhh... :? :? This is a image of the PUAZO-3 AA fire director.
I think the image 164725 posted on 06 Jan 2016 shows a different instrument, although perhaps associated with AA equipment also.

I think it is as it is at the VTT posted photo caption: a suuntauspylväs, something like a sighting pole/mount:
In finnish the item is a "tähtäyspylväs", a sighting mount perhaps in english.
It was a part of the fire control system, the sighting mount was used in finding the target and tracking it.
The mount gave the target movement, side and height angles that were transfered to the actual predictor.
The system also needed range finder and at some models a separate speed indicator.
We finns bought a similar looking mounting with the ex-French Aufiere fire control systems from Germans during the WWII.

...and this sighting mount perhaps also is a model of an ex-French Aufiere - an example of the Finnish developed Puazo-Aufiere combination.

Thank you very much for your answer, Juha

So, it is a Poste optique Mle 34 sighting mount of a Finnish developed PUAZO-Aufiere fire director combination... 8O
However, I can sse some differences with your image, as the side dial pointers.... :?
It ssems that the manufacturer of this equipment was Sautter-Harle...

Similar looking, not the same.
The Finnish bought systems were of mod 35 and 35/44(?)

Thank you, again, Juha

Yes - it seems to be syöksyvene. Size and structural design fit, although sides of the boat seem bit high - but it could be just the angle from which the photo had been taken and effect caused by the fact that all the weight (soldier + motor) is in aft of the boat (which raises the bow higher).

Sturm 78, as ALWAYS the original Finnish caption gives the answer and can be translated into English with Google. YOU, all by yourself, should give it a try, PLEASE.

SA16734: "Ilmatorjuntatykistön komento-osasto. Weibel-kronografi" => Anti-aircraft Artillery Command Department. Weibel-chronograph.

SA167353: "Ilmatorjuntatykistön komento-osasto. Boulenge-kronografi." => Anti-aircraft Artillery Command Department. Boulengeri-chronograph.

After all, as I´ve understood it, AHF is not about making endless questions and thanks messages, but GIVING info and answers.

My experience is that the original captions often give the answer, but sometime they don't and sometime they even give incorrect info.

Well, asking questions is allowed, and atleast I've learn't a lot at the Forum.
And at some cases even the answering the questions has taught me new things that I have not understood earlier.

Normally, the answers are usually given to questions posed earlier .....

veeteetee, one example: Image 69245 of SA-Kuva archive: Photocaption: Tykki on 105 mm:n ruotsalainen raskas kanuuna vuodelta 1934 (105 K 34).

Thanks to forum members who answer to the questions, I learned that this is a KH36, not a K34, as say the photo caption.....

If it bothers you to answer my questions, you don`t do it .... perhaps another forum member will do it..... and I will be grateful....

Without expert like veeteetee around here, you will most probably be left out of answers to several of your questions.
