1945 WWII US Navy Bendix Submarine Underwater Log Speed Indicator. Made by the Bendix Corporation, Marine Division, Brooklyn, NY. There is a place for a Serial Number but does appear to have been stamped. This information is faintly visible on the brass name tag on the unit. Other name tag info is visible in the photo. The brass indicator unit is 11-1/2″ wide x 13-1/2″ long x 7-3/4 tall and weighs 62 lbs. The bottom base is solid wood, 13-1/2″ wide x 15-1/4″ long x 3-1/4″ thick with a lamp post that is 35″ tall, weighs 13 lbs. Total weight is 75 lbs. I could not determine the history of the unit, if it was recovered from salvage of a sunken submarine or from decommisioning. The unit was repurposed as a lamp many years ago by mounting on a heavy solid wood base with a lamp. The indicator unit itself has not been modified. The unit is non-working but appears to have all it’s internal parts intact. The top cover plate is removable with the 8 allen head bolts. The brass unit appears to have been lacquered, the brass top plate was significantly discolored and has been cleaned. The bottom part of the case still has its lacquer coating with patina. The heavy glass window is original and has some minor corrosion from saltwater? Around the edges (see photos). The lamp shade looks like laced rawhide, I can’t say for sure, may be faux but is very heavy. A description of the Bendix Underwater Speed Indicator can be found online at the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association online publication of the US Navy Training Manual, Chapter 10. Please view photos and description carefully, Please ask if any questions or need for additional photos. The items I sell are generally used, collectables and vintage items. I try to be accurate as possible in my descriptions and point out any significant defects but I cannot describe every detail. Read descriptions and view photos carefully as these provide the most detail. Please contact me in advance if you have any questions. I will work with you.
