Infrared Ship Board
Beacon

(LMP) USX-12
New, never used beacons from 1940's. A high wattage IR light source for navigating with the lights out. Thick red glass lens filters light. To the naked eye, you can barely see the bulb's filament but the IR heat will burn you. Made to resist sea spray. Label says "TRAIN LIGHT". Naval gray steel frame. Clasp on top secures to chain, hook, pipe or ?. 7" diameter x 12" high and very heavy. We have them new in crates. Operates on 115 volts.
 

Geiger Müller Tube

(TUR) CK1026
Here is your chance to obtain the basic building block for a Beta particle and gamma ray detector. These halogen -quenched thin wall Geiger tubes, made by Raytheon, are left overs from production in the 60's but have virtually unlimited life. Brand new, never used.

We found loads of info on the internet concerning these tubes and have included some basics with your purchase to help you get a start. We found the CK1026 sold for about $25 on other sites.

This tube is for Gamma radiation only, with a 760 volt Geiger threshold and a 900 volt operating voltage. Typical background=60 counts per minute.

Please see the following link for more info.

GEIGER TUBES: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Our Geiger tubes were produced in the 1950s we believe and are very delicate. The glass is inheriently thin creating a situation for damage to occur unless the most extreme measures are taken in handling and installation. Because we have no control over how you the experimenter will handle this product, no guarantee what-so-ever is implied or expressed as to the durability, function or use of this tube. You can be assured they are new and never used when shipped and since Halogen quenched tubes have a virtually unlimited life, if care is taken, you should have no problem constructing your own geiger counter.

Federal Telegraph
Automatic Bearing Indicator

(EQP) CFT55084
Perhaps the only Automatic Bearing Indicators in existence today and new in the crates to boot. Made by Federal Telegraph for WWII and delivered March 31, 1942, right in the thick of it. New technology was being pushed to the edge of the envelope. I suspect they never were adopted as standard equipment. Includes prototype style handmade manual (original and marked restricted of course) with each scope.

Basic theory of operation is a small 1/8 HP 1140 rpm motor drives a goniometer directly and a set of magnetic deflection coils. A 5BP1 CRT is positioned inside the rotating deflection coils and thereby deflected. An optical system consists of an illuminated scale and a mirror so positioned that the reflection of the scale appears to coincide with the pattern obtained on the screen of the CRT.

The manual indicates the following voltages are required:  -800 vdc, -650 vdc, -160 vdc, -135 vdc, 6.3 vac and 11 5vac 60 Hz. Only four available. 120 pounds gross weight. 46" long.
