Hi mk701,I have found similar on Allied aircraft that we have recovered,from memeory (it was a long time ago)I think it may be a Voltage inverter,
Regards,
Don,

 

[blackwatch]

Yes it is a voltage inverter, from gleichstrom (DC) to drehstrom (AC)

really nice description of the place of manufacture: "Waffenstadt Suhl" = "Weapon City Suhl" Today it seems to be forbidden beeing proud manufacturing weapons.

Drehstrom = 3 Phase AC

Thank you for identifying
This is a colleague from the Czech Republic, bought many years ago.

Hi Alpini,being proud of manufacturing weapons is not a problem,you dont have to be proud of how they were used,they are after all just tools,
Don,

 

[Alpini]

you are right don, it is just funny to read this label as today nobody in germany would even think about writing something like this

After 1945 in the G.D.R. they produced small motorbikes "Schwalbe" (swallow) in Suhl. These bikes had a factory label "Jagdwaffenwerk Suhl" which translates "Hunting arms factory" so many people called their bikes "Jagdschwalbe"

They look even the same as the inverters nowadays in a F-16.

 

[Alpini]

they are still electro-mechanical generators in a F16??

 

[thekees]

No, lucky not. But the shape is the same, i changed these things a lot, and when i saw your pic, i just knew it was an inverter.

now they are static,
