As part of night fighter operations, the PeilG6 was used of navigation purposes. As part of night fighter tactics, aircraft often had to locate radio beacons and circle these until vectored onto the enemy bomber stream. To make this job easier for the pilot, the Luftwaffe introduced the "Rahmenpotentiometer 6" or RP6, which would provide a link between the PeilG6 and the aircrafts autopilot. The RP6 was mechanically coupled to the rotating mechanism of the PeilG6 antenna. Very nice and rare item, complete.
