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.
