The CDN NAVAID was 1960s era.

Could be mounted in an light vehicle, or in a tank. System comprised several elements including plotter and mechanical read-out for the tank crew commander and the driver, as per your image. 'Heart' of the system was the large gyro-compass.

Hi Douglas.

That equipment looks like a 'modern' version of the wartime kit. More individual components and probably a bit more compact.

Looks like Surplus City has both moved and possibly merged. Their new web site is as follows:

www.surplusjeep.com


The last time I dealt with them, the web was just a thread-like dream in someone's mind.

Doug,

See this thread:

Should give you most of what you want to know. Have you located some 'bits' by any chance?

Thanks for posting that link. It was the wartime Odograph I was thinking of and there are some excellent articles about it on the web.
