THREE DIALS WHICH WERE UNED TO CONTROL THE ENGINE(S) REVOLUTIONS / SPEED. BRASS PLATES THAT READ: “BELL SIGNAL”. BOTH FACES OF THE DIALS ARE VERY NICE AS IS THE GLASS. THERE IS ONE SMALL ROUND BELL AT THE BOTTOM. MAY HAVE BEEN A SECOND ONE BUT IT IS MISSING. CUSTOMARY MARKINGS ON THE TWO FACES: ” INCREASE / DECREASE – – FULL – – 2/3 – – 1/3 – – TOP – – STAND FULL – – FLANK – – STOP “. NOT SURE WHAT COMPOSITION OF THE SILVER METAL MAY BE – – LOOKS LIKE SOME SORT OF ALLOY. Measures: 18 by 14 by 33 inches. BRASS PLATES ARE VERY THICK, THUS THE WEIGHT IS ESTIMATED AT OVER 150 POUNDS. I ACQUIRED IT IN THE 70’S FROM A RETIRED MARE ISLAND NAVAL FACILITY WORKER JUST A FEW MILES FROM THE NAVY MOTHBALL FLEET IN SUSIUN BAY.
