8-44-I-N-3.......WWII GERMAN STUKA TURN & BANK ......Simple presentation electric t&b was a trademark of some German aircraft, including the JU-87 Stuka German dive bomber......this instrument is actually two simple instruments in the same housing......the 'needle' at the top was gyroscope driven, and indicated when the plane was in a turn......the 'ball' worked on the same principle as a carpenter's level, except it indicates if the plane is 'slipping or skidding' throught the air----flying sideways.....extra useful to the accuracy of a dive-bombing mission .....standard diameter of 3 and 1/8" face, but 6" long and quite heavy for this type instument....rear of case has German data tag marked 'Elektr Wendezeiger' and odd (to us Yankees) two prong electric plug connector for power ..correctly marked on tag as type Fl 22412..... 'ball' in working condition, and the 'needle' may still work too, not tested, but gauge is not tampered and appears in very good condition.......sale comes with photo of this instrument installed in the panel of a WWII German JU-87 Stuka..........$250
