Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August) available until March 31st, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Are you talking about the slide rule? I bought that on ebay recently, it's a Starrett 425. What's interesting about this particular one is that it has the Esso logo inscribed.
I'm really into engineering tools, in particular precision measuring tools. Don't ask why.
No, it's a Starrett No.700 I did have 3 of them, but sold one of them. They rarely ever come up for sale second hand over here. I also have a Moore & Wright inside micrometer which is the only one I've ever seen by Moore & Wright!
Here is the Moore & Wright No.794 inside micrometer. I haven't been able to find another one or any information about it on Google search etc. An old Moore & Wright catalogue would be nice.
And the three of them together..
And the three of them together..
LOL, I do all my measurements in "thou" because my lathe is in "thou" - the trouble is, I do all my drawings in mm
I'm the same!LOL, I do all my measurements in "thou" because my lathe is in "thou" - the trouble is, I do all my drawings in mm
Here is another interesting one.. I saw this on ebay for £10 so I could not resist. If you don't already know, see if you can guess what it is used to measure. And I'll stop taking over this thread with photos of micrometers, now, although I do often edc one of these. Some people carry coins to fiddle with, I carry a micrometer 
The point at the end does measure depth, yes. It's a can seam micrometer. Can seams have to be made to surprisingly tight tolerances to create a seal.
Yeah a buddy of mine used to work in a company called Crown Cork, making cans for Pepsi I think. I remember they had to do a massive recall when full cans were exploding in Peru. Rough roads and high altitude meant they had to toughen the seems etc.
I think I’ve asked you this on another thread, but cannot find it for the life of me.
What torch is that, please? Love the look of it.

Thanks kindly!
A shame it’s discontinued. The other copper AAA torch I like is also long discontinued and I love the aesthetic.
Glad to see you have a couple of washers in your wallet, you never know when an o ring might fail
