Counter and display unit presumably used to allow development of the optic and mechanical components

Counter and display unit presumably used to allow development of the optic and mechanical components

Counter and display unit presumably used to allow for the development of the optic and mechanical components of the hand held unit in miniaturised form. The hand held units could be plugged into this electronic board and thus test the performance of the miniaturised components thus so far developed.
