Hi Frank,

That looks more like an early Controlaire - or maybe Kraft - servo. The Climax ones I recall were cube shaped. But it was a long time ago, and maybe my memory is playing tricks...

Climax relayless 'Reed' servos here. The relay versions (no servo amp) did not have the 'hump' on top of the plastic frame

The red bar connecting the two servos at top right is a 'wiffle stick' for Elevator Trim: one self-centring (Elevator), one progressive (Ele trim).
Servomites could just about pull the skin off a rice pudding -and that's being kind !

I only ever used these in a boat. My 'Reeds' glider (Force Four) used the much better RCS rotary servos that came along a bit later.
