Description
You are bidding on a FANTASTIC example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe Edmomentumschalter (Pressure Switch) & Mount! This was used in various aircraft such as the Me109, Fw190, Me262, Ju88, Ju87, and others!
This switch was part of the main electrical system of the aircraft, and were generally used in the gear retraction system. They were the main cut-off switch for the landing gear, which shut off the hydraulics once the gear had been raised, and sent a signal that indicated to the pilot the position of the gear (Up or Down).
Made of aluminum and steel, this switch and mount are in SUPERB used condition. Made by Stotz, it is 100% functional, however I am not 100% sure of the exact aircraft this set-up w as used in. I have indicated a similar one on the Me109 landing gear in the last photos, as well as the nose gear of the Me262. Perfect for any Luftwaffe collection or restoration project!
