What is it???

Sep 22, 2005 5 Replies

Ok - Picked up a entire tool chest at an auction and finally got around to going thru it. Found 3 things I have no idea what they are. First is a spindel w/ prong on it. It has the word IMP on it.



2nd is some type of dial indicator - as the bottom spins - the dial on the front rotates.
3rd - it was a box of "things" They are metal - pointy things w/ holes in the tips. The box was marked India on it.

Can anyone shed some light on what they are? Pics in A.B.P.W.



Thanks

Server doesn't carry binary groups, sorry...

Second sounds like it might be a handheld tachometer....

THats the thing - its not a plunger - the end spins.

Earlier post was right; hand held tach. They show up on ebay from time to time.

WAG on the "IMP": Maybe a Morse-taper cleaner/reamer? Are the bristles stiff, or what?

Are the pointy things hollow? I bet McMaster Carr sells them, but how the heck do you look it up!.

Post a note over on rec.crafts.metalworking; somebody there will certainly know what these things are.

Counts the revolutions per minute of the shaft it's placed on the end of.
