Did you get a chance to read what the guages were for? If for D.C. current, quite likely a search light unit (can't see what is behind the stand). I've also seen Air Raid sirens powered by Ford flatheads, although they were on a rotating turntable with the siren.

Generator
I currently have one of those in my workshop, 2.2KVA with a DC exciter. I have never been able to find an exact mach in any of the standard reference books but I'm sure it was for either search light or mobile workshop use. I used to have half shares in the unit it came via a clearance sale of a wood yard that was closing down.
It now belongs to Steve Stone OCMPG member with C30 11 Pete

Are you quite sure of the rated output: 2.2Kva? That's not much for a V8 prime mover, let's do the math: 85 HP X 746 watts/HP X 80% eff. (just to be conservative, got to allow for mechanical losses, hysteresis, windage, and inductive reactance) = 50Kw. for a generator. If it's three phase alternator you multiply that by root 3 to get even higher output.

It's output is 18KVa. I've got one of these and the manuals to go with it. If you didn't buy it, how much was the seller asking?
