The description says the disc is 5 inches in diameter and the ear is 9 inches long. Everyone, adjust your blueprints accordingly.

Any thoughts on what the first line says?

"TETRAVAAL CERTIFICATION ______ OR"

HPS03?

 

[Mike J.]

I'm guessing it's a number or an alphanumeric.

This is allegedly one of Deon's books.

Great catch. It does say approximately and we have no idea how they got to those measurements. I took some photos and scaled the plate to 5 inches and depending on the photo that puts the antenna from tip to where it connects to the spacer somewhere between 7.25 and 7.75 inches long and an OAL length of the antenna to just over 9 inches

Here's a close-up of the guard key box label.

So I'm trying to get all of the entities for the guard key box together. I believe I have most of the content correct except for the red sticker. I have no idea what's going on there.
That first line on the yellow sticker is tricky but i think it uses parenthesis.

 

[Mike J.]

Yeah, it looks like NPSO).

...You know, the "O" and ")" keys are right next to each other.... It could be a typo.

Check page 48 in the art book. It's there but too small to read.

I also find it curious that they're using the American spelling (authorized) and not the British spelling (authorised), which I assume South Africa would use.

Oh nice find.
Here is some crappy zoomed in picture I took.


The top line definitely says something "INCORPORATED".
The bottom seems to be a string of numbers and letters.

South Africa would certainly use English language spelling but then we're in movie world here.

I suggest the word could be "specs" which is also used in SA as an abbreviation for "Specification".

Although it seems odd that they would use an abbreviation there it could make sense in the overall sentence if you were creating a badge of tech. speak.

That little orange label on the Guard Key box also shows up on a cable in one of the 'diagnostics equipment' lots.
