Interesting - that probably explains what the bulb is doing on this aerial current meter used on Stirling Bombers when they used the T1083 (the one before the T1155). I suspect that I would have had 'TUNE' next to the lamp but ergonomics and style were not really high on the agenda back then!
Anyone care to suggest what the three connections were for? (E E1 & KEY COM?)
