A frame supported for rotation about a central vertical axis has an enclosing cylindrical side wall with a plurality of openings formed therethrough at spaced apart angular position around the central axis. A plurality of vanes are located near the side walls for causing the frame to be rotated by the wind. Each vane is associated with one of the openings and is supported for pivotal movement such that it may be moved through its associated opening between an inward position inside the side wall and an outward position wherein it extends outward beyond the side wall. Cams located at the central axis and cam followers are provided for cyclically moving each of the vanes to its inward and outward positions as the frame rotates such that on one side of the central axis, the vanes are moved to their outward positions to catch the wind as the vanes are rotated by the frame to this side and on the opposite side of the central axis, the vanes are moved to their inward positions out of the wind as the vanes are rotated by the frame to the opposite side.

A body member has an opening formed therein. A receiving contact is located in the opening of the body member and has an electrical lead connected thereto which extends out of the body member. The receiving contact has a cavity with an opening at one end which faces the plunger end of the body member. An interior contact is located in the cavity of the receiving contact and is electrically insulated therefrom. An electrical lead is connected to the interior contact and extends out of the body member. A moveable plunger including a plunger contact is located in the opening of the plunger end of the body member. The plunger contact has an opening which releasably supports a shuttle contact at a position spaced away from the interior contact. In this position an electrical connection is provided between the receiving contact lead and the plunger contact by way of the receiving contact and the shuttle contact. Silicone grease is located around the shuttle contact and the plunger contact and in the opening of the plunger contact behind the shuttle contact.

A device for testing the cables of a chaff-flare adapter of the type having a base member with a plurality of spaced contacts located inward of the surface of the base member. The device comprises a thin plate means which carries a plurality of contacts in apertures formed therein for engaging the contacts of the chaff-flare adapter. The contacts of the thin plate means are biased outward of its forward surface by coiled springs which electrically short the contacts of the device to ground. Each coiled spring has one end which tightly engages a contact of the thin plate means and an opposite end which tightly engages the rear wall of the aperture in which it is located for providing an electrical path from each contact to the rear wall of the aperture.

A first coiled spring has its two ends coupled together to form an annular coiled spring. The two ends of the first coiled spring are coupled together by a second coiled spring located within the first coiled spring. One end of the second coiled spring is connected to one end of the first coiled spring and the other end of the second coiled spring is connected to the other end of the first coiled spring. A loop is formed at each end of the first coiled spring. The ends of the second spring are connected to the two loops of the first coiled spring respectively, and the loops are offset from each other such that one loop fits into one end of the first coiled spring and the other loop fits into the other end of the first coiled spring.

An adapter for routing shielded electrical wires to a connector and which comprises a plurality of spacer-shield connecting member pairs located between a base of a socket and an end plate. The spacers and shield connecting members have square central openings which are aligned with openings formed through the base and socket. Each spacer has a side opening for receiving the wires which are routed through the openings of the base and socket. The shields of the wires are connected to tabs formed on the shield connecting members. The end plate, spacers, shield connecting members, and base each has four apertures which define the four corners of a square for receiving connecting means for securing the components together.

An armored cable with a fitting at one end carries electrical leads which extend from the cable and the fitting and are connected to an electrical connector. A tubular body has a forward end adapted to be screwed to the connector such that its rear end is located near and forward of the fitting. A split ring or C-shaped ring is adapted to be located around the electrical leads with its forward end located within the tubular body such that a shoulder on the ring engages the rear end of the tubular body and the rear end of the ring engages the forward end of the fitting. A nut is adapted to be screwed to the rear of the tubular body and engage the fitting such that the fitting is securely held between the nut and the ring.

A quick dialing switching system for an adapter employed for testing a chaff-flare firing system used in military aircraft. The adapter has a base which carries a plurality of contacts for engaging the contacts of the chaff-flare firing system. The switching system comprises two rotary switches each operated by its own rotatable knob for sequentially dialing the contacts of the adapter base to allow the contacts of the firing system to be tested.

A solenoid has a coil with an outer core and an inner core. The cores provide the magnetic circuit around the coil. The inner core includes a rotor which has radially extending armatures. The armatures are positioned in gaps between radially extending poles of the outer core so as to form air gaps between the poles and the armatures. When the coil is energized, the armatures are attracted to the poles and cause the rotor to rotate, thereby closing the air gaps. The shaft is coupled to the rotor through a drive mechanism so as to rotate with the rotor. The shaft is made of a material with a relatively high magnetic permeability, as are the inner and outer cores, so that the shaft is magnetically coupled to the inner core rotor. When the rotor stops rotating, the shaft also stops. A return spring returns the rotor to its deenergized position when the coil is deenergized, recreating the air gaps.
