Summary

Description
English: During 1942 and 1943, the Canadian National Research Council designed and built this microwave-frequency Searchlight Control radar.

The radar system is on the left, with most of the operating equipment in the box behind the parabolic reflector. On the right is the operator's cabin, with a window that allowed the accuracy of the radar to be checked.

The system featured a lock-follow system so once the operator selected a target the system would automatically follow it. The project was cancelled when it was found the automated motion caused the operators to get motion sickness in the enclosed cabin.

This version is slightly cropped from a larger version provided by the CNRC. The original shows what appears to be some hand-editing to remove the background, which can be seen around the leveling jack and wheels.
