Dial a prayer hard copy?

It’s just an aerosol copper spray coating for head gaskets and such. Works really well for sealing imperfections. Like if those gaskets came off clean you could spray them then go back together no problems.

It's a screw dial type thingy.
Used for dialing in your thingy.
Thingy's don't need dialing in very often but when they do, this tool is indispensable.

Naw smoked something that gave it the munchies

Also comes in a can with a brush attached to lid. Least it used to. Great stuff for gaskets

I am curious are the numbers on the dial degrees or tenths of an inch? There appears to be 10 teeth per every 10number increment. Does it spin freely? Is that little bolt/screw head a set screw or maybe for holding a cover on to keep debris out of the worm gear/teeth? Is there any spring type mechanism under the dial ? I would guess some type of timing or synchronization tool. Was this the surprise inside a box of Cracker Jack??

The pointed end spins freely and the worm gear does turn the dial.
The straight blade machine screw can be loosened to rotate the small pointer on the dial face.

That's all I got. This was given to me along with an assortment of other antique tools by my Dad.

Maybe take it with me next time I go visit see if he has any idea?

And Good Morning to all. Happy Friday!

Machinist's tachometer. It should have a rubber tip on the end. You put it in the center of a spinning shaft and time it for a minute to see how many revolutions it registers.

Of course it is. That's a wrap. I like the way Louis thinks though

Good Morning everybody.

I have one of those!
Mine is a Starret.
They were used to measure speeds in a machine shop to calculate feed speeds on a lathe, etc.
You would use a stopwatch along with the dial to get your surface speed.

Waiting on Goldie to get home. Then we're headed to Hootin Holler. Primary objective this weekend is to get the well pump installed and operating and bring back a water sample for testing. Plus try to get about 30 other things done.

I lost my billfold yesterday hauling in hay, didn’t figure I’d every find it after driving thru CRP that was 2’-4’ tall & up & down the road but apparently the sun does shine on a dogs arse every once in awhile. Lol.

 

[Jetmd]

Steve, Jason thank you both!

Now just to find a suitable end for the shaft and we are good to go.

I had faith that one of our resident members would come through, and low and behold 2 !!

Two of us needs a new rubber tip.

No timer needed, turns either direction.

Was in my Dad’s tools.

Sayyyyyyyyy...... Maybe an elevator tec could use it. On electric motors and stuff. [emoji106]
