*** Identification of Normandy field find ***

[General Apathy]

.

here's three photos of the piece that my neighbour found two weeks ago in the gateway across from his house, he has also recovered a few Jeep related pieces from the same field.  . . . .  Possibly Signal Corp related, it has two knurled knobs on the top with rubber grommets inside through which wires / cables pass.  A couple of friends mentioned that it might be the lid for a Potentiometer but other than that no other suggestions as to nationality or possible usage . . . . . . . . 

 

Difficult to make out what nationality it's either American or British due to the markings on it,  but certainly not French or German.

I'd say it's British. Don't know what it is but a 'loading coil" in the US Army signal corps is a device for telephone lines.

I would say british too, the 'No.2'-type mark seems typical British to me?

Hi Robin and David,  thanks for joining in, yes I was leaning towards British due to the nomenclature details, but thought it was used with telephone lines which leans towards Signal Corp use . . . . . . . . . This area is an American sector and perhaps forty / fifty miles away from the British sectors.

 

I was hoping that someone into Signal Corp collecting would have details of it in a manual on telephone lines. 

 

thanks & regards lewis.
