Hope your not right but you could be.Auschwitz sorting counter?
es macht mich sehr traurig, recht zu habenHope your not right but you could be.
I got one of those.A form of mechanical tachometer? Right & left so it could measure in both directions. If you continue to turn the shaft do the other numbers in the windows eventually change?
If it’s a tach/rev counter, why a left and right?? The other end shows wear marks does it have a function?
Edit - I see it is a wooden handle-duh, more coffee
Nuclear launch codes found at the president’s think tank??Okay, this has stumped a tool and die maker, a machinest, a machine set-up guy, and a few others...
My grandfather did a lot of woodworking at home,,, built lots of us kids wood toys and puzzles,,, as well as doing lots of other things with tools. Worked on machines at the local paper plants. He had quite the woodshop at home. He passed many years ago, but my uncle lived there until he passed a few months ago,,, so I never really went through the tools until now.
One of the things I found, and probably the only one I have no explanation for is this,,,,

The little brass numbers in the little circular windows move. The set closest to the pointy tip move when that tip is rotated. The others move with the turning of the little knobs on the side opposite them.
Anyone know what this is, what it's for, how it is used?
If only we had a president who could think. All his thoughts do tank.Nuclear launch codes found at the president’s think tank??
I have one of those manual tachs, and I thought the same thing. If the numbers change with the spinning of the shaft, I would guess it is one of them in a slightly different variant.Looks something like manual tachometer I once had. You press the end to the end of a spinning object and it gives a number. I’ll see if I can find mine.
