Mystery tools - what the heck are these things
ok, I'm totally baffled - go to www.wbnoble.com and click on "mysteries" -
look at the first two items (those are the metal related items) and see if you recognize these things. The first one was a swap meet purchase - the vendor had no clue and neither do I, the second was an e-bay purchase that was advertised as a "height gauge" - it clearly isn't that (and I know that when I bought it), but what do you think it really is? -- Bill to Email me, repair this address and use it: william_ b_ noble at msn dot com also check out http://www.wbnoble.com |

No clue on that press thingy... But could the first item be some sort of
guage? Something that is passed through or has something passed through it to see what tolerances the user is getting? Joe - V#8013 - '86 VN750 - joe @ yunx .com Northern, NJ Ride a Motorcycle?

Item #1 looks like some type of a high-class scraper blade.
Item #2 I have no idea, other than it appears to me to be some sort of a hole punch for a specific application.. Item #3 This appears to fall into the size category of what we once (pre-transistor era) called 'Hearing Aid Tubes'. Some variants of this type tube found their way into the "VT Proximitiy Fuzes" used on large AA artillery shells by the military. The mystery to me is that I remember these tubes as somewhat flattened, but your's appears to be cylindrical. (For what it's worth, many if not most of the VT Proximity Fuzes were manufactured at Eastman Kodak's Lincoln Avenue plant in Rochester, NY.) Harry C. |

In article 1111264938.e6c15e3959eadcf946706fb399baac55@teran ews,
"william_b_noble" wrote: http://www.wbnoble.com The first one looks exactly like a carbide scraper blade. Given the text, one could suppose that it's intended for precison metal scraping. I'm very happy with the one I have (just marked Sandvik, and with the holder) for paint, etc. scraping, but suspect it would work perfectly well on metal as well. Clamps in a holder, scrape until one edge dull, flip, scrape until other edge dull, replace or sharpen (diamond stone). -- Cats, Coffee, Chocolate...vices to live by |

2nd item IMHO is a pump drill jig. That is what we call them anyway. We
use a similiar item in our plant ours are made by heinrich. Drill bushing are layed out in the top, pulling the handle down moves the top down onto the work clamping it. |

It looks like a paint film thickness gauge. A sample of paint is placed on a smooth test surface, and "squeegeed" out to a known wet thickness. After the paint drys, the resulting film is mic'd for thickness, and a figure of merit of solids content is created from the ratio of wet to dry thicknesses. LLoyd |
