Shanghai TS-630 station pointer
Shanghai Aerial Survey Station pointer.
Obtained from the UK.
Initially when I found this instrument I thought it would have been a Japanese instrument. However, while translating the markings I found out it was actually Chinese. Translated this instrument is from the Shanghai Aerial Survey Instrument manufacturer. What makes it special is that the instrument is almost identical to the USSR station pointers from the same period. There are some (very small) differences but it constructed along the same lines. However, similar instruments can still be obtained from India, so the plans must have been widely used making this most probably a copy of the USSR one rather than the other way around.
