Hello I thought you all might find this PT artifact interesting as a few comments were made recently on how diverse the equipment and the details of the PT equipment on the boats can be. Hope this works this is my first attempt to install images on a message board and it is kind of a test run for me hope that the images go through.

Don
Thanks so much for posting these great photo's. I know that in the past I have seen a few of these, and passed on obtaining one for the Exhibit, because I never knew they used them. I will keep my eyes open for one. Great set up, with a great wooden box.

Pretty neat. It's great to learn about stuff like this.
I never knew such a device existed, but then you could fill volumes with what I DON'T know...
