[R-390] Can you please help identify this?

[David Wise]

Nitpick: The photo may be captioned "Beam Finder", but the device
itself is clearly marked "Beam Filter".  Makes much more sense,
particularly in the avionics context.
 
On the beam today,
Dave Wise

	It resembles or is an audio filter used in WW2 aircraft. Fits in series with
	the earphones and the output of the radio. It was  a passive device. It
	widened or narrowed the audio frequency width. Most hams found those very
	useful after the war for copying CW - during the war same thing in the
	aircraft, or perhaps listening to the radio beam when navigating, and of
	course to help eliminate or at least filter out some of "Jerrys" jamming.
	You could try listening with your own radio.
