Can someone identify this rotary table?

Hi!



Got an rotary table (2 axes of rotation; 200 mm diameter) today. Nice craftsmanship, all surfaces scraped. Has never been used on a mill, because it was used for calibrating gyros at the Luftwaffe.



Seller said, that it is British made. Weights at about as much as half a tank.



Now, I'd like to find out more about it.



Pictures are here:


It has a bit of backlash, but I'm certain that I can fix that. I intend to use it for the rotary axes for a 5 axis-CNC, so I simply couldn't resist. :-))


TIA, Nick
