Is it a fuse box ? It kind of looks like one !

Re: Nice little boeing b17 find. (i think)
Thats one of the posibilities that I thought of, the other being that it might have once contained buttons or switches that you wouldnt want to press by mistake
Thanks

Buttons or switches would have been mounted to the box lid, but here are no holes anywhere that would be large enough to accomodate buttons or switches, or any room for them inside when the lid is closed.
Toggle switches need at least 1/2" clearance height, and 1/4" holes
to be mounted into.
Someone must have schematics or drawings of Boeing electrical
components made for and used in WWII aircraft..............
The B-17 is the first WWII plane that comes to mind !

Looks like I'm finally going to have to invest in my own copy of the B-17 Illustrated Parts List on CD.
Between us the number of part numbers I'm requesting identification of is getting to the limit that my contacts can/will provide.
All the best,

Could it be the arming box for the selector re bomb load?

Re: Nice little boeing b17 find. (i think)
No, it's too small and as mentioned earlier there are no toggle-switch sized holes in the casing.
I'm wondering whether it's one of the boxes for spare fuses that were located throughout a B-17.
I'll have to see if I have any of the Boeing 3-xxxx sub-assembly parts listed to give a clue.
TTFN,
PB
