I have an actual one in the museum collection however not much info in it, but I do know it was 24 volt as the bulb in it is 24/28 volt.

Thanks, Jason,

Any chance of some images of the 'bits', please? Particularly the plotter.

Regards

If this gizmo is similar to the WW2 odograph then I have one buried in the warehouse. I don't recall a manual because another collector in Quebec has one and needed a manual also. All I remember is that mine was missing a gear drive that, at the time, seemed important to make it work.
I had assumed it worked using a compass and distance travelled (like the Land Odograph) but maybe it actually used a gyro. It is buried deep but may getto it in the New Year.

Thanks, Brian,

You'd know if you had the Gyro: it was a weighty monster a couple of feet square.

No hurry: I'm just trying to piece some info together without any particular end date in mind.
