Re: relic unknow

The theories about this item are interesting. Attached is the envelop that these come in. My German Dictionary translation is: Accessory for Radio direction indicating apparatus 3 - Deviation curve full plate.
This went into the rear of the large repeater compass carried by most mult-engined aircraft. A pin would scratch the trace into the painted surface for a permanent record. The markings on the plate go from 0° to 360° with deviations from + 30 to -30
