Now to really piss off you rapscallions, I took a capture of the original and then filmed my
monitor so there will be no cheating with gugul images or tineye. Maybe get out the old
Encyclopedia Brittanica set you have from the 1960s. IF you know, just comment "I know"
I'll update with a full size picture later. Currently I have no idea what it is.
Something from Atlantis...
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but it's a damned nice one...
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing some sort of optics, maybe survey or lab related

ReplyDeleteP.S. Googley Eyes DOESN'T WORK per your indicated and scurrilous deception ;-)).
I wonder how many people out there reading this actually still have an encyclopedia or even an old World Almanac on hand to do some real fact checking?

ReplyDeleteCan one find an existing card index?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have pictures from other angles, so I could be baffled from every direction.

I've yet to Name the Dame,and I'm not about to get this.
Shit,I should just take algebra, again.
Never got that either.
Agree. Let's see the other sides, and any builder's plate. The blue thing on the other side could be a motor or a power source; it's impossible to tell from a single viewpoint. Could be a pre-war microtome, could be a prototype laser level, could be a barrel crown checking tool. The knurled cap on the left end of the cylindrical part says "lens" to me, but a simple side view doesn't help there.
DeleteFleshlight prototype
ReplyDeleteAnon that’s some funny ass shit right thar. You definitely win innerwebz comment of the day

ReplyDeleteEasy. It's a range finder for the M65 Atomic Cannon.

ReplyDeleteAutopilot for aircraft.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it is missing a few attachments, it’s the bomb sight for a direct energy weapon being used to start fires and burn towns all around the world.
ReplyDeleteI know
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, I want one.
ReplyDeleteKinda resembled a heads up display seen in fighters.
ReplyDeleteThe old Bell & Howell crinkly coating shows this thing was made before 1970. Rustproof, scratchproof, that coating was nearly indestructible. Came in a blue tone too, which you always saw on the movie projectors in school.

ReplyDeleteGrammeter for a turbo encabulator
ReplyDeleteObviously made with framulated amulite.
DeleteOf COURSE, otherwise the sinusoidal motion of the dingle arm would be refracted. Geez...
DeleteIt is Thee original muffler bearing measurement manufacturing tool. By golly I've never seen one of those before.
