This is a Master Direction Indicator for the Bendix autopilot system, Type N-5, Bendix part number 16404-1C-A1, with a serial number prefix of AF-51, indicative of a manufacturing year of 1951 for an order by the US Air Force.  We have yet to link it to a specific aircraft of the USAF.  
This indicator has 3 calibration screws along each outside edge of the dial, as well as a calibration window on its top side. 
It is in exceptional condition given its age.  The dial markings are clear and the glass and case are intact.  Measures ~3.25 inches diameter and ~10 inches deep, and is 4 lbs.  See photos.
