Yes! They are not exactly cheap to buy, these days. I would also like to get something a bit bigger like a Lister D or Junior, will be keeping an eye out for one at the right price.

I love land Rovers. And tractors. They were used by the army and RAF during the war. They ran things like generators or water pumps. Now it's just for the love of old engines.

Anybody else into stationary engines, or any kind of other engines? I picked up this 1943 J.A.P 2a yesterday.

Long shot but I'm looking for the book 'An encyclopedia of cultivated Palms'

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.

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...

I'm the same!

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..

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!

A little slide rule, or vernier calliper is a brilliant tool to have on you if you're working on for example an engine, for taking a measurement of a bolt head so you're not back and forth trying to find the correct size socket.

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.

This was todays sat in work carry. Mostly things to just play with when we're quiet.

I will still be taking Henry camping this year, and I will look to do the Great Tommy Sleep Out next year. Hopefully we get some better weather soon because it's been horrendous.

Thank you, very kind. I decided not to bother this years as literally, I think it's rained every single day in Wales for months now :lmao: Sorry for such a late update, I have small garden centre/nursery and have been busy getting set up for the season.
