Help identify this label (electrical/nuclear engineering equipment)

In summary, the conversation is about a new poster seeking help in identifying an obscure equipment label. The label appears to involve rotary switches and may be related to electrical or nuclear engineering. Questions are raised about the size, material, and missing text on the label, with some speculating it could be part of an aircraft radio control panel.

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.
