-Hi
In the Stirling it was fitted on the wall where the Bomb Aimer was. It could be used for a number of things - mainly to initiate fire extinguishers as you could assume that the aircraft would have crashed if it activated.

-You can see one in this pic. It would have ben fitted to many aircraft types but not necessarily all of them!

-There may also be two fitted - one for the vertical direction and one for the horizontal - to account for the different rapid decelerations experienced in a crash.
