This is a true piece of Aviation history. The Dalton Dead Reckoning Computer Model G Mod. This mechanical navigation device, used by pilots for dead reckoning (calculating position based on speed, time, and direction, corrected for wind), was manufactured by Stanley Manufacturing Co. It features engravings like "DALTON DEAD RECKONING COMPUTER MODEL G" and I.

Examples include dates like December 1941 e. Philip Dalton in the late 1930s, Model G was a kneeboard-style tool issued to Allied forces, including the RCAF and RNZAF, during WWII.
