WW2 RAF Aircraft Manual Bomb Distributor H/O Quadrant 5D/687 

This is a WW2 RAF Aircraft Manual Bomb Distributor H/O Quadrant 5D/687. A historic piece of vintage aircraft equipment made from metal, brass and bakelite used in several RAF WW2 Bombers.

Where 5D = RAF stores number for 'Aircraft Armament Electrical Stores'

It is a manual bomb distributor/selector quadrant featuring a rotating handle and contacts (such as 20 positions) used to manually sequence or select bomb-release circuits

It's in very good condition with a few scuffs and blemishes particularly on the base. The handle turns freely once released from the locking position. It can be turned to any of the twenty positions marked with a brass connector on the board.

I don't know if it is complete, I think it is missing the housing which screwed to each corner forming a cradle style base. The price has been adjusted as a consequence.

Approximate Size (WHD): 13 x 11 (including handle and connectors) x 13cm

The face is marked:-
