ID this German Equipment?

Hi All,

I have acquired what I believe to be a piece of German aircraft equipment that one of you may be able to identify. Please see attached photos. This is my first try at posting photos, so if it fails, email me for the pics.

From the data plate:

Siemens-Apparate u. Maschinen
Gerat: Kursmotor L K Mo
Volt: 24=
Anf. Z.: FL 22563
M. Type: PC 1.25s
Gew kg: 0.6
Fertig: (no data)

There is also a W.Nr. and M.Nr. as well.

It is approximately 13cm or a bit over 5" in length, and 5.5cm or 2.375" in diameter. I'd really like to know what aircraft this may have come from and its function. Thanks in advance.

Re: ID this German Equipment?

Hi,

this looks like the top part of a Siemens auto-pilot unit as was used in many aircraft makes/models. I don't have any parts lists now so can't confirm myself!
