Plath (Hamburg) Gyro sextant.
My model is incomplete though now working
and will feature when I have more photographs
In the meantime Look Here for some
notes on the activities of the firm PLATH
And a shot of one in decent condition

For all their beautiful workmanship,
they were a rather old fashioned design, reputedly based on the
Hughes Mk VIII
and when the Admiralty analysed a captured
instrument they were not at all impressed, Look here for the report
from the Admiralty Research
Laboratory
