Think Freya was German SCR-268.  IE, a searchlight director.

Looks like an AZ and an EL scope plus "range coils" (phase) for distance -
like US SCR-270.  One polweh operator unlike 3 for '268.  But no servos to 
steer light which, in turn, required manual rod feed.

Trade-offs.  Post ww2 German scientist supposedly marveled @ SCR-268's
GE arc-light automatic rod-feed.

Freya light reportedly had blue (blau) filter & other non-guided lights 
followed it.

Tnx AD6.. for pointing this out.  I'd never even seen a picture

Some menchen outghta run babelfitch on those ultra-neat angled panels.
