OK, Here ya go >>>

I've blurred the bottom row of lettering because it states what the object is in that U.S. government nomenclature format. I made this in 1972 at an evening job while I was attending college.

Extra points if you can give the application. I certainly can't. I do know that we cut up 1/2 inch (13mm) thick sheets of soft plastic into 2" (50mm) squares, weighed a certain amount and stacked the squares, which were then placed into pressure molds, and out came these. The lettering was applied later.

Heh, heh, heh. But no.

The U.S. DoD was/is one of the end users.

Electrical Insulator.

Those holes on the side appear to possibly be a place to put screws. No real idea, however.

I think, technically, it's a thermal insulator, but for what?

One hole is for a control feature, one is for an indicator, and I haven't learned what the third is for.

Is it part of a sleeve and cylinder type valve?

It changes direction of flow. center is supply....upper is flow one direction as in one end of a cylinder to extend piston rod...lower is to other end of a cylinder to retract the piston rod.

No, it's essentially a protective casing.

ETA: I'm thinking I chose something too esoteric. If you were in the military, in a specific occupation, on the flight-line in the '70s, you likely saw these.

Anytime someone would like to post up another "izzit", please proceed. I'll give this two more days, then reveal all.

Well, I was in the AF in 80's, but I was in avionics and the previous hints sound like something associated with hydraulics.

Well if it was what some of us though it was it works like I said that it would.

College kid, weapons, my guess something simple. My guess, the part that makes the high pierced whistle as the bomb approaches the ground form high altitude bombing.

Robert, you have the operative verb...

...and, Alan, you have the major assembly.

The printed description reads:

FUZE, BOMB, MECHANICAL, NOSE
THERMALLY PROTECTED M90(??? - last three characters illegible)

Below the left hole is printed:

"A" ON RED WHEN ARMED

Below the middle hole is printed:

REMOVE STOP SCREW FOR USE BELOW 6 SECONDS

--------------------------------------------

Looks like it's the casing for an M904 bomb fuse..., though all the images I can find on the 'net look more like metal casings.

Huh, I can't believe I killed another thread.

So, who is up next? You didn't kill it, you just dropped a bomb.

I'd say either Alan or Robert (whomever is quickest!), but in the interest of continuity, I'd accept any challenge.

ETA: For this one, I will take a somewhat generic description; extra points for the precise application, but not a requirement.
