I know someone here knows the correct nomenclature for this item. I need to find a good clear image that I can use for the work I'm doing on the OV-10 consoles.
Thanks in advance!!:salute:

If I'm not mistaken, that's the head of a screw. Phillips, to be exact!
Or, find your flavor http://www.google.com/search?q=aircr...w=1920&bih=857
In all honesty, it looks like the pulley off the front of a GM/Oldsmobile engines alternator. but since you say it gows on the panel, i'm at a loss. wityh that raised center, it doesnt look like a screw head to me. Perhaps a tuning ring from an antique radio ???
Hard to tell from that picture but it almost looks like those push on end caps you see to hold wheels onto shafts as fitted to kids wagons.

I dont know what the heck it is, or what it does, I just know its on the Grumman Goose on what I think is the radio alt.

You can pull that texture from the Goose gauge DDS file.
A fairly good view of what they look like here ( F-86 Sabre ) :

Thanks everyone. Ok, I just noticed that they are used on the T-37 panel, so tomorrow (oops, today I mean) I'll be driving over to the airport (about 3 miles) and getting some close-ups of the item on the "Tweet in residence".:salute:

OK, not the best picture, but it is a bulb cover for earlier generation guages. They unscrewed off and were painted plastic caps, in this case a few have centers unpainted and raised to emit a bit of light, while others would remain unpainted and light gauges around the bulb.

In the RN we called them Pillar lights they are used to illuminate the panel from behind (ie they screw into a perspex cover with the front painted black), the lettering on the panel is then etched and filled with white paint and the areas around the gauges are bevelled, that way the white lettering and area around the gauges illuminate when the panel lights are turned on.

is a plastic nut, is what holds the panel in place, and how it is to be tighten by hand have those rebounds.
the bulbs are higher and has a side opening, none of the above photos as this. i will try to find a photo.
i'm a amt!

yes you find it typically in a military cockpit. i worked with c-130 and they have a lot. i will ask a B2(Avionics), i'm a B1 (Mechanical) :salute:
If I remember correctly this type beamed the light sideways into the perspex panels so that it showed up in the etched areas, lettering & lines
yes, probably is the nut/cap to replace the bulb inside for the backlight panels.
If you look at this site http://www.thexhunters.com/xpeditions/nf-104a_hunt.html the picture for NF-104A INSTRUMENT PANEL FRAGMENTS will show you the make up of the perspex panels (although this one is in pieces) and also look at the picture for the following NF-104A COCKPIT PARTS item number 7.

ps I spent 25 years in the Fleet Air Arm as an Electrical Tech and changed the bulbs in these things on a daily basis.
you are right bruce :salute:
in the first post I read on the diagonal and thought you are talking about the cessna type exterior gauge light poles!
:ernae:
Then you might reconize this slightly different type Bruce?
Answers on a post card... :salute:
This looks like the Head of a Pozidrive fastener, used quite a bit on British Cars, Motorcycles......etc.
