As always help with identification of folks in the photos is most welcome. Please send a note to: errol.groff@snet.net

21. This way cool gadget joined the Frank Dorion collection of
oddities. Frank will have better luck sliding this into the house that he
had with his last mill or lathe purchase. It is a gage for counting teeth
on small gears. First one compares the gear in question to the gears
mounted on the plate to find the pitch of the gear. Then an adjustable arm
is set to that number creating a wedge opening. The gear is slid from
right to left in the opening and he number of teeth are directly read on the
plate. Just the ticket if you have a box full of small gears and want to
know how many teeth are on each one.
