I just found this one interesting. And notice the numerical readout on the wheel.
Anyone ever seen such a species?

That’s cool.
Never seen such a beast (though I’m rarely on the hunt for unusual tools. Maybe I should take that up…)

Andrew,
It is very very addicting per Nick. I have some vintage tools and misc. Some of which I used to use when I was a yute working on European autos (way way back in the days before “scan tools” - those days when technicians had to troubleshoot problems) no YouTube or Google not not as far back as Walter’s day’s or steam or chariots!
In my garage i have a huge vintage cordless saw that has a 72" blade - collecting dust…

Ah. Clockmaking. Makes perfect sense. i reckon if you can make a clock that can keep time worth a hoot, you can make a simple little micrometer with a special gauge-thingy readout… Nifty.
