Help identify this label (electrical/nuclear engineering equipment)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on identifying an obscure equipment label potentially related to electrical or nuclear engineering. Key terms mentioned include "rotary switches" and "NRADS," which likely refers to net radiation. Participants suggest that the label may not be a traditional label but rather a sticker sheet of decals intended for a control panel, possibly for aircraft radio equipment. The conversation emphasizes the need for additional context and details about the label's material and dimensions to facilitate accurate identification.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of rotary switches in electrical engineering
  • Familiarity with net radiation concepts in nuclear engineering
  • Knowledge of aircraft radio control panel components
  • Experience with label materials and identification techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the function and design of rotary switches in engineering applications
  • Explore the implications of net radiation in nuclear engineering contexts
  • Study the components and layout of aircraft radio control panels
  • Investigate various label materials and their identification methods
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for electrical engineers, nuclear engineers, aviation technicians, and anyone involved in equipment labeling and identification processes.

Hi all,

New poster here. I'm wondering if anyone can help identify this obscure equipment label.
I'm not an engineer so I can't hazard a guess as to what the abbreviations may be and what this device may have been used for.

Rotary switches may have been involved on this equipment and NRADS seems to be net radiation.

I'd hazard a guess in that it is electrical or nuclear engineering.

Any ideas?

Welcome to PF
Is that a photo of the label or your reconstruction?
There is no scale, what is the size of label and height of the text?
What is background material? Paper or metal?
What is the red text material? Paint or transfer film? (Letraset was available in red).
Could some letters have been lost? If you wet them do they slide or can they be peeled?
My first guess would be to fill in missing text. TR G = TRIG ?
 
It doesn't look like a label. It looks like a "sticker" sheet of decals to be applied to the control panel of some device.
 
I feel like there is context here we aren't being told. But it looks like part of an aircraft radio control panel to me.
