Description This piece of equipment has been sitting in our basement since the house was purchased 11 years ago. I don't know much about it hence posting it here. It's obviously military equipment. There were a couple of service record papers in it listing the date 10/31/1956 as a used date but when it would have been made or the date range of use I do not know. There is a "lubrication chart for - instrument field test set type c1" label inside the hood giving specs on oil pressure, rpm, air pressure, tachometer, etc. The photos make it look a little beat up but it's mainly in need of a good cleaning. There are hoses and handles that seem to be attachments for it as well. It's all original and as such the rubber tires have definitely seen better days. Any historical info, specific name of the item or value would be appreciated.
