type I have a bomb aimer type Gyro Gun Sight Mark 8 (G.G.S Mk8): model 153fe 164fe 159fe. Where of who have any info for me?

Hello Onnie. I have a small collection of GGS gunsights, although some of it has gone now. I have found an installation diagram for the GGS Mk 8, from AP1275E Vol. 1; Sect. 5; Chap. 6 which shows the various components and an installation circuit diagram, showing circuit details of it all. I also found the details of the gunsight itself from AP1275E; Vol. 1; Sect. 4: Chap. 3 (about 7 pages). I can scan them for you if you want them. I do not know if I can put the scans on the forum or not. Can someone tell me how to do it if possible? if not I can email or transfer them to you (and anyone else who might like them).
Regards
Mike D.

Here are the scans from Fortress2aZ9A converted to PDF and OCR'd.

Note that the first page is from one manual and the last three pages are from a third manual. The first page below shows the whole system, not just the sighting head itself.

Thanks Mi for putting them on the forum and for knitting together the two pages of the complete circuit diagram.
Regards. Mike.

The 3 likes on this post really belong to Mike D Fortress2aZ9A because without him supplying the scanned pages there would not be anything for me to post.
