Help identify this label (electrical/nuclear engineering equipment)

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying an obscure equipment label, with participants speculating on its possible applications in electrical or nuclear engineering. The inquiry includes considerations of the label's physical characteristics and potential uses.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that the label may involve rotary switches and interprets "NRADS" as net radiation.
  • Another participant questions the nature of the label, asking for details about its size, material, and condition, and proposes that "TR G" could stand for "TRIG."
  • A different participant posits that the item may not be a label but rather a sheet of decals intended for application on a control panel.
  • Some participants express a belief that the label could be part of an aircraft radio control panel, indicating a possible context that is not fully disclosed.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the nature or purpose of the label, with multiple competing views and interpretations presented throughout the discussion.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion regarding the lack of specific details about the label's physical characteristics and the potential loss of letters, which may affect identification.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in electrical or nuclear engineering, as well as those involved in aircraft technology or equipment labeling, may find this discussion relevant.

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.
