Re: Luftwaffe Part Identification

Hello Mr. Schmitt,
Thank you for posting these photos.
Is there any chance you can post another photo of the Typenschild without the offending tube in the way, or perhaps a transcription of the text?
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

Re: Luftwaffe Part Identification

Is it 10 centimeters long or 100? Why would anyone not put scale in photographs like these???

Seriously.

Why are we still struggling with this incredibly simple concept? Are rulers exotic commodities in certain parts of the Europe?

Add scale to your ID photographs. It really helps.

Re: Luftwaffe Part Identification

Hello again Mr. Schmitt,
Your Typenschild is from an unknown component made by a VDM sub-contractor:
Maschinenfabrik Otto Pieron, Berlin W 15, Uhlandstr. 175 [b], Hersteller code = dsy.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

Re: Luftwaffe Part Identification

Post #14 is part of a trend occurring here that contradicts the otherwise civil discourse that has been going on here for years. I respectfully ask that such exchanges either be stricken or some penalty imposed. If we are going to call ourselves civilized then we need to be civil with each other.



Regards to all,

Ed
