Here goes nothin',
308. Don't know official name, but they are placed on a framing square to layout stair treads.309. A dolly for metal working. It resembles my heel dolly, but with more rounded corners.
310. Don't know what this one is, looks like the material is brass, no size given.311. Looks like a leather (or gasket) punch with extra "spikes", possibly for a fastener, maybe a snap?
312. The way the pieces are aligned makes it hard to tell the size of the pieces, that is probably intentional. My only guess is that the pieces get smaller as they go up.313. Miniature hacksaw, very handy.
314. Haven't a clue, although based on recent posts I might hazard a guess that it is photographic in nature.Jim
The pieces are all the same size.

311. Fitting tool for "Lift the Dot" fasteners (hood covers on British sportscars)
I've seen and used these things many times, but only with home-made tools. I've never seen the "original" tool in the wild.

The guy I bought it from had it in a box of full of old cobbler's tools but I'm sure that this one was also used for other purposes than making shoes.

You and me both!
They get some coverage in this site...
Thankyou ! It now has a name 8-)
The Curta is mine. I have a tutorial pamphlet, but it assumes you already know the basics of how to use the thing. This is the first time I've seen a manual.
Now I can learn how to use it. Woo-hoo!
Scienctific America with 2004/2005 would also be useful. They have an article giving a very good analysis.
This site will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about your Curta, even how to take it apart and fix it.
