Hit's a Hydrostatic Gonkulator ! Seriously, I think the item on the table w/the guy's arm resting on it is some sort of amplifier or maybe a transmitter...Or who knows ? EVERYTHING back then was Tooob-powered, it could be a counter for widgets on some assy line they "borrowed" for the film...The oscilloscope looking doohickeys are more than likely just props. The thing on the table bears a FAINT resemblance to a Racal RA-17 reciever, but those things were real Hot Shit then, I doubt if the British Military would have let one go to be in an American sci-fi flick...Similarly, at that time R-390As were brand-new, still classified, NO WAY in hell the Signal Corps would have let one of them out...Besides, I KNOW what an R-390A looks like...An' that ain't no R-390A...
