got this from a friend cleaning out extra stuff - I"m trying to
figure out what it's part of - is it related to film loading? I
haven't seen anything
quite like it, but there's a lot I havent seen - the case is
probably aluminum, painted gray, the gears are stainless, this is
not a cheap item, whatever it is. Military?



Gotta picture of the other side of the device?

I sent Wes a photo - for anyone else, the other side is very plain -
I can send you the photo if you think you have a clue - there is a
shaft with a flat on it coming through a boss with an o-ring, nothing
else. This was probably bolted to something via the four holes that
are visible.


It's a counter Bill.
The old version of a rotary encoder.
