help with ID WW2

[Chagy]

Hi,

I have been trying to ID this thing but I have not been able to find an exact match. The most similar I have found is a submarine dive klaxon alarm.....But non of the ones I have seen have the bell...Any Ideas? Also I would love to test this thing it seems like one of those that makes that Aooga sound...It seems complete and it has a red and a black cable next to the entry hole. I wonder if I connect an extension cord and plug it to the wall? but I don't want or burn it or burn the house..LOL...I will appreciate any help

Thanks,

Chagy.....

Here's a link in Russian that shows one just like yours. I typed КЛРФ-1104 into google.

ffuries,

Thanks....I have it also posted in the shipwreck section and I was told it was a Russian airplane collision alarm....The shape of the bell its different but it is a positive ID my bell looks more like a ship's bell...Now all I need to find out is if it was from a battleship? aircraft carrier? or submarine?

Change 1 google КЛРФ-110 instead, I kept looking at the last symbol didn't quite look like a 4. It's called an Bell-Howler, КЛРФ-110 translate a KLRF-110, they are still in use today apparently, 110 meaning 110 volts.

Thank you so much...This a 100% ID.....I found a similar one used as a ship foghorn....So do you think this was on a war vessel?

Well if 1945 is a date, then it could have been used on a Military vessel in early 45, or could have been used on a vessel after WWII. That is the first hurdle to figure out is 1945 a date or a SN or something else?

 

[Chagy]

Well in my humble opinion it looks like a date if you look at the tag/plate 723 4 1945 plus it looks really old it has been painted at least 4 or 5 times..But I am no expert on the matter that is why I came here to hear others opinion...You have been allot of help...once again thank you so much!!!!!! I would like to find out more.... what it was used for? and where? what kind/type of vessel?

Here's a link to the definition of what a Bell, Howler is and what it can be used for. Here's a quote from it to give you an ideal. "If reliable perception of the visual signal is required, it is supplemented by an acoustic signal (bell, howler)." From what I gathered these are used for all sorts of "Alarm Conditions" whether fire, chemical, overheating, etc. With having a bell and a horn it is meant to get a persons attention quick.
