It's it a communication cable selector?

JennyLeez · « **Reply #3 on:** February 09, 2014, 11:41:22 PM »

Tricky as to how to answer you Intrepid.

Be more specific please

intrepid · « **Reply #4 on:** February 10, 2014, 04:59:26 AM »

its an undersea comms cable selector?

I think the N E S W N are the directions that the cables go from the point of origin and the little switch underneath selects which cable you want to use.

As a guess....

Could we please have a teeny weeny clue?

JennyLeez · « **Reply #10 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:25:48 PM »

Ok the N S E and W tell you it is something to set direction.

Go back to in time. Say the 1970s.
What was around and what was not around.
What would need to be set to N S E and W back then.

A compass device connected to an antenna the radio inspectors used to find folks with radios in their homes using the modulated signal of the IF superhet stages in old radios.

iomkiwi · « **Reply #18 on:** February 10, 2014, 10:31:00 PM »

radio direction finder - to find signals going into houses and make sure that house had paid it's licensing fees?

JennyLeez · « **Reply #19 on:** February 10, 2014, 11:57:19 PM »

Babs is on the right track with this guess.

iomkiwi is sorta on the right track.

Nearly there. Read both these guesses and try again.
