I believe that one is something to do with an aircraft camera, & marked Bowden Tyseley, the other appears to be off of a bomb of some sort, & is marked No 4 TI 3/18.

Any ideas ?.

They are available for exchange if they are of use to someone.

I believe the latter item is a bomb arming fuse (Type no. 4 TI). 3/18 is the date of manufacture (i.e. March 1918). You may get a more specific answer here.

Isn't Bowden usually associated with cables and winches? Maybe a control lever for such an application?!

Edit.. Bowden brakes of Tyseley. Manufacturer of bicycle brakes. Not sure if they made anything else.

Hi Rob

Bowden made various levers & cable fittings etc, for use in aircraft from the very early days, through to WW2 etc "camera controls, throttle, gun firing etc etc".

Cheer's Rob.

I'll see if they can help to identify which bomb types it may have been for.
