These two parts allegedly came from a B-24. I was curious if anybody out there can help me I.D. them. They appear to be some sort of hydraulic pumps or jacks. Thanks in advance for any help!

Just an update...the parts are all marked "Bendix Products Div". The frame pieces have parts numbers of 78974 & 78973 (they must be left and right pieces), the pump on the end is marked #78690, and the gear part connecting the bracket pieces is marked #78543. I sent an email to Ed Kaleta asking about these parts and he says they are bomb load hoists for the B-17, B-24, B-26, etc. Not sure if this is correct though. Can anybody out there confirm this? Thanks! John |

A big thanks goes out to Robert Kropp...aka "Pooner" for helping identify these parts as gun mounts for a Bendix Chin Turret used on B-17G's!!
