what is this thing part of? actual metal content
http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/counter-thingie.JPG
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? -- Bill www.wbnoble.com |

Gotta picture of the other side of the device? Wes -- Are we freer today than in 1967? If so, you must believe in gun control. |

Wes -- 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. |

Carroll aaah, yes, John - thank you ---- but of course I knew that - the text file describes it has having a vreeder roote counter on it - but my real question, in case you weren't being coy and I am not being dense, is "what was it counting - to what purpose was it employed" - I am hoping that someone recognizes what it was used on so I can try to get it to someone who has one of whatever it goes with - as you note, I certainly don't need a mechanical counter in these days of cheap digital encoders. |

I've got several bulk film loaders, nothing like that's attached. Stan |

Well Bill, I've seen similar on old box conveyors. This one, however, looks like it's meant to be removed after it counts whatever it's counting. Sorry. -- John R. Carroll |
