That's pretty funny.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
JeepStinker is a smartypantz.Seismic sensor?
More like a magneto inductor.Is it a flux capacitor?
What??? I don't win nuttin' ?JeepStinker is a smartypantz.
It's a seismic sensor for detecting very large man-made bangs, like those made by a nuclear detonation.

You win twice as much as wreckerman893 usually gets.What??? I don't win nuttin' ?
Seismic sensors of this type are placed as far from buildings and 'civilization' as possible to minimize cultural noise that might obscure teleseismic signals. And when they are spread out over a large area to form an array, they can better triangulate on the signal sources.Cool! So what are we doing with the seismic sensors? Are these in fact placed in an area near an old bunker or military complex, or were they just placed there for testing purposes?
Negative.Ok, so was this part of the igloo program or what? Nationwide nuclear detection array? I'm sure you will tell us more when you dig up the others, but this is so interesting I can't help but ask a bunch of questions.
Negative.
Worldwide.
There will be more pictures of this unit and the others, as well as any info I can dig up of this particular project.
Questions are ok, but I am somewhat surprised that there is so much interest since most here are focused on wheeled OD.
I like, my spidy senses are tingling with your finds.I found a few more goodies on site. Here is one. 'The Electric Storage Battery Co' made batteries for submarines and eventually became Exide. With all of the do-dads sticking out of this battery case, I can imagine it in a large bank of batteries for something like that. I have not been able to reference the AN 3152-A number. Anyone? I shall attempt to revive it and put it in my mini sub.

OK, so I don't have a mini sub. But if I did, this would be sooooo in it!
