Nuclear Measurements Model GS-2 GM (ca. 1955-1960)

This is a Model GS-2 GM survey meter produced by Nuclear Measurements Corporation of Indianapolis, Indiana. they describe it as "A Value Packed Quality Instrument." The schematic located inside the case is that of the Model GS-3, but the number "3" has been crossed off and replaced with a "2". Unlike the Model GS-3, which employs an external probe, this unit has two GM tubes housed inside the case. Nevertheless, it does have a plug for an auxiliary external probe for drill hole exploration.
