please go to my web site (www.wbnoble.com) and click on mysteries and look
at the first item pictured - it almost looks like a mortise accessory for a
drill press, but not quite - someone must recognize it, and if we can figure
out what it is, someone must need it.... and then I can get it to where it
is needed.

if you don't want to go to my site, here is a direct link to one of the
photos:http://www.wbnoble.com/mysteries/PICTv0007.JPG
the dimensions and another photo are on my site

now - who knows what it is?

thanks

I'd guess the height thingie may be a setting gauge rather than a
'reading' gauge.

Or, maybe it aligns 3 things that poke through the holes in the top
and then the 3 things are tightened down.


On the glass diode- (based on nothing) I'll guess it's for a B52
aircraft.

"The B-52H made its first flight March 6, 1961, and is still in
service."

And I'll bet some of those had tube components into the late 80's...
