Re: Luftwaffe Night Fighter Device
AWG = Auswertegerät or Bakenwandler, AWG 1 and 2 from Frieseke & Hoepfner and AWG 3 and 4 from Siemens.
Very simplified:
It's a kind of remote control of the aircraft. It converts the audio-frequency beacon signals into a continuous direct current. This DC could be switched to the autopilot (Kurssteuerung) to control the aircraft.
See the scan from Fritz Trenkle: Die deutschen Funknavigations- und Funkführungsverfahren bis 1945, Stuttgart 1979
