Re: FuG 24 ZVG 15 Drawings or Pictures
PS: A drawing in a Japanese book that appears to be a German wartime drawing shows the battery and two boxes. The translation of the captions says:
Nr. 38: Battery
Nr. 41: Receiver
Nr. 44: Direction Finding Device
We know that the FuG 24 receiver was installed in the rear fuselage. So maybe, the drawing is from an early design phase and changes were made later.
The British photo of the disassembled He 162 still shows two boxes of different size in that compartment (besides the battery). According to the AG-Liste from Oct44, the inverter was also installed in the same location.
Assuming that one was the inverter and one the ZVG 15. Which one was which?
Photos of the compartment in the He 162 owned by the Berliner Technikmuseum show shock absorbing mounts in the location just behind the battery. I would not expect that they used these mounts on an inverter. So, the most likely explanation would be that the ZVG 15 was the first behind the battery and second the inverter.
HOWEVER, on the British photo, the rear box is smaller in size and I would have expected the opposite for the inverter (i.e. larger than the ZVG 15).
SO, mistery still not completely solved....
Cheers,
Roger
