I recently had a local business build a support cradle for a Norden Bombsight that the museum has in storage. (It was just laying on its side in a cardboard box.) To make it, I measured the dimensions of an original cradle that came with a second one we had and drew a blueprint for it. Given the number of Norden Bombsights floating around out there, I made this with the intent to pass it along. So feel free to use it.

EDIT: Here's some pictures:

The reproduction:

EDIT (22-01-23): Restored the images with archived versions. Note that the blueprint has also been made available on Wikimedia Commons.
