Probably machined as a jig for a repeatable machining operation.View attachment 352824
It looks like the chuck says Burnerd model 130A. It also looks like there is a chunk missing out of it

Nice piece, but ...
That's a bit strange: 50 x 25.4 = 1,270 so the 27-mark (for 1m27cm) should be exactly opposit the 50"-mark ...
... or are the two scale's respective zeros and therfore the starts of the vernier scales not exactly opposit from each other?
(or imperial cm are just bigger by nature)

Might’ve wrong but the stripper clip on those rounds looks like a .303 clip?

Left out at the roadside were these: the drill batteries dont charge however one of the lads at work has had them, there was another cantilever tool box also gone to the drill man. I guess the item in the top right of the first pic is a caravan dish (anyone want it?), there were a couple of dinghy paddles - nice bit of doweling and the best is the Husqvarna meat grinder.

Stamped US Goverment on the clip.
Base of the rounds are stamped .30, 1941.
Acquired it on Friday after spending the last month using Google Maps on my tablet which was propped up precariously on the dash
.Had 5 minutes looking at it in the van yesterday and managed to input the postcode for the yard but couldn't cancel the route, so the damned thing has been chiming at me and trying to get me to turn south for the last 300-odd miles
. Just spent a quite frustrating and bad language-inducing 10 minutes on Tomtom's website while parked on an industrial estate near Bridge of Don, that just happens to be under the flight path of EVERY helicopter ever made 
, and a teeny tiny light is now visible at the end of this metaphorical tunnel 
.Oh to be 12 years old and able to understand technology...
hmm, tomtom sell incomplete databases, which need you to sign up via the internet to download the complete version. Took mine back to Halfords over it - they insisted I had to sign up, or keep it as it was. So now my tomtom doesn't have my home postcode, unbelievable.View attachment 352985

I used to shoot both Ektachrome and Kodachrome, in large format copying artwork/paintings. I would bounce between the two depending on the "warmth" or "coolness" of the pallette, usually to kind of de-emphasize. IIRC, Extachrome highlighted cool, e.g blues and Kodachrome warmth, the reds, so you could actually tone down an overly warm piece with Ektachrome and vice versa w/ Kodachrome, otherwise results were overly saturated, too cool or warm when used the otherway around.
Note the artists strived for neutrality in their copy work....
Anyone w/ similar experiences...??

"sold a few pics but never came anywhere near covering costs."
I recovered just over a third of the total costs of a 6 months round the world trip, to a Stock Agency after I packed in the Bank. I was surprised at how many shots they bought.
I shot mostly on 'Chrome and used to post the film cartridges back to base in batches as I travelled.

Yes I loved using slide film. Fuji 100 was very good if you wanted a slightly faster film but the greens and blues could be a bit overpowering sometimes.
Kodachrome 25 was awesome if you wanted very fine detail and the weather was bright enough to use it. No modern digital camera still gets anywhere close to that kind of resolution!
I also used to do astrophotography where reciprocity failure had to be taken into account.
And I still HATE autofocus with a passion. Modern cameras have a manual over ride but it isn't the same. Totally pointless outside because you nearly always shoot at infinity anyway. Especially at an air display or similar.

Hah. If I'd kept the stash of trannies I could have been on a small earner with the historic and classic bods now."sold a few pics but never came anywhere near covering costs."
