Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This World War II bombsight was originally designed by the British (as the Mark XIV bomb sight) and first entered service in 1942.

There is a separate sighting head (with attached gyro), which is not included, that communicated to this computing element. The attachment between the two devices was mechanical (flexible cables).

This example was manufactured by the AC Spark Plug Division of the General Motors Company during World War Two. Data plate reads T-1-A BOMBSIGHT COMPUTER. Measures 17"x 22".
