That's good to know although I missed their sites while looking. With the word 'Tycos' on the instrument my gut feeling is that is not from the CW era, but none the less I still would like to know what it is. Maybe a failed device that was tossed overboard from a tug, still the question; what is it? After several years as an arson investigator I still get bothered when I don't know the "what is this" thing I just found..how does this fit in....ect....
