That tripod is the same as mine except for that top round plate.

The top of this stand pivots, which allows the plotting board to angle somewhat.
A google search on the data off the plate on the tripod links the tripod to the no9 director, but I can't be sure of that. I only have a director no7, and it uses a much larger base on the tripod. Next time I am out in the shop with the camera, I'll assemble the board on the stand and snap a shot.

Here's my tripod. I'm not sure what it was used for.
My 11 set makes a good background for the pictures. LOL The lettering says STAND INST. No17 MKII RADIO LTD NZ 1942 NEW ZEALAND NO 459 The third pic shows my collection of map stuff.

Is there any data on your tripod? On mine it was on one of the metal bands about 8" from the top of the leg.
The size of the threads almost look like it would fit the heliograph, although my heliograph has a different (earlier?) design of a tripod,. dited to add: nevermind, I see your 4th photo now. So yours is a no17mk2, and mine is a no17A mk2.

I thought that piece mounted to the tripod might be part of a heliograph. I can't imagine what else it might be for. The thread on the mounting bolt is quite a bit smaller than on the map board.
