Air Ministry Planisphere

Description

Air Ministry Planisphere
Rather ragged plastic wallet a little over 12" square contains a planisphere of similar size with some of the major northern constellations shown and a set of 4 grids for latitudes of 25º north to 65º north which can be placed over it. The device was manufactured for the British Air Ministry which was in existence until the early 1960s so it is of some antiquity. The case has some issues and the celluloid from which the planisphere and the grids have been made show some warping but it is still possible to use as intended.

This sale is for the 3 Antique Crouse Hinds 100 Amp - 125 Volt Copper & Bronze Electric Knife Switches pictured. These are made of almost all copper & bronze save the Bakelite handle attaching bar and 2 steel threaded rods at the rear.  2 are in great condition, one suffered a short and has some resulting damage.

These came off a large lighting control panel mounted on a marble slab that was disassembled. It dates from right around 1900 and came from a theater in San Francisco. I was told it was taken out of service after the 1906 earthquake.
