Help identify this label (electrical/nuclear engineering equipment)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around identifying an obscure equipment label potentially related to electrical or nuclear engineering. Participants inquire about the label's size, material, and condition to better assess its origin and purpose. There is speculation that the label may be a sticker sheet for a control panel, possibly for aircraft radio equipment. The mention of rotary switches and the abbreviation "NRADS," interpreted as net radiation, suggests a connection to radiation measurement. Overall, the community seeks more context and details to aid in accurate identification.

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.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
