This is the film transport mechanism for the Elliott Projected Map Display. It has sprocket wheels that engage with the perforations in the side of the film plus the associated pay-out and take-up spool shafts.
This film carriage can move to displace the film side-to-side according the the aircraft's track and the whole carriage can rotate according to the aircraft's heading. Electrical connection to the various drive motors and sensors connect via the stack of gold plated slip-rings on the insulated sleeve.
