C47 Part

[FarlamAirframes]

This part arrived in the post this morning along with a B17 flap control casting. So a mixed bag of parts form a crash collector.

This part has a splined shaft that turns/is turned by the cog on the top. Designed to be bolted to something and with a part number of 5364842-8 it sounds like a Douglas part number and possibly C47.

I have checked the C47 parts list from 1952 and it is not shown.

So is this a C47 part but from an earlier model ?

Any guidance on where it was from ?

Thanks

Brian: Have a photo of the opposite face? Might give some clues as to what system to be looking at.

Trouble getting image down to required pixel sizes so attaching pic of back via another route,

Hope this helps. Splined shaft entry at back.

No clue right now. P/N sorta follows Douglas system, but could be for anything they built. Construction suggests that it's a low speed motor or hand drive adapter. The machining looks to be a single small drive/driven pinion that was 90 degree indexable for various installations. Cowl flap drive, shutter door of some type maybe?

Thanks for doing the thinking on it.

Just thinking that this came with a B17 part - whether it was B17.

The parts catalogue for the G and E don't have it but similar numbers are used for the windshield wiper motor assembly.

Possibly part of the motor assembly/flexible drive for a windshield wiper?

at the weekend I bought an Avro Shackleton chair and along with it came a couple of parts including a part I recognised.

The unknown part above is the head from a Delco Fuel Booster Pump - as it is identical to the Delco pump that arrived at the weekend.

I was checking the B17G catalogue and it shows a Fuel Booster Pump - but specifically a Thompson one is listed.

The Delco WW2 promo catalogue shows that the Delco fuel booster pump was used on early B17s.

So is this from an earlier model B17 or from another aircraft ?
