Been on the road quite a bit lately (leave again in a few hours), and I've been turning up some unusual items. The first has an electrical connection typical of a German transverse bomb fuze, but appears to be an electrical device of some kind. Does anyone recognize it? The second looks typical in construction to some of the demolition timers, but again only has electrical connections instead of a detonator. Thanks for any assistance.

With respect to the second item - the alpha numeric string following "Andforderz" appears to be "Fl *0685" which I understand identifies it as an aircraft instrument/control. They were catergorised by the first digit, if you can ascertain that, it might be possible to identify the nature of the item.

i wonder if the other part is Aircraft also, may be for storing the charging head before connection to the bomb.
