Forum geniuses. What is this?
My Dad bought several of these at a government auction in the early '70s. He said he was told they were hydraulic motors that controlled something (he can't remember what) on military aircraft. He said the government originally paid $25k for them. I have moved them around my shop for 30 years. I decided to see if I can find out what they are or were for and if they have any value.
Here are some photos.

When you google cream pie you don't just get recipes for a baked pastry treat! The take home message here is to be very careful what you type into that box. Google is a very tricky thing to deal with, my friend! It has it's ways of surprising you when you least expect it!

In 1945, New York Air Brake again returned to aiding the United States' war effort in World War II. Up until the end of the war, NYAB became a producer of tank hulls for the Sherman tank, anti-aircraft shells, automatic pilots for aircraft, breech mechanisms for guns, hydraulic pumps for fighter aircraft, and other military hardware and had over 5,000 employees contributing to the war effort in the war-torn Europe by the end of 1944.
By the end of the Second World War, New York Air Brake had expanded its product line to include hydraulic aircraft pumps. In 1949, the company furthered its market reach with the purchase of the Hydraulic Equipment Company Dudco Products Company. As a result, sales leapt from $18 million in 1950 to more than $45 million in 1957
