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 '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
