What is this dial from?

Any idea what this aluminum dial is from? It is slightly under 6 inches diameter and the back side is painted black.

Thanks, Greg

Signal generator?

It was tough trying to find a crisp, close-up view of a production model (not prototype) Hallicrafters DD-1 dual-diversity receiver and this was the best I could do. But I believe your dial came from one or was a replacement part for it.

That sure looks like it. Not likely I'll find a DD-1 that needs a dial. I wonder if this same dial was used on any other models?

It is the outer black ring that sets it apart from other silver-dial Hallicrafters. I believe the numbers on it are part of the vernier tuning and logging reference.
