He's been told many times by many people . I think he does it for the
attention he gets . He useta have some comedic value , but his

That must be a good gig. Selling old tools for a hundred bucks when nobody
knows what it is. I suppose you could just make something up! I can see it
now.
Customer: What is this tool?
Dealer: Ah, that is a priceless antique tool.
Customer: What does it do?
Dealer: That is the mystery! Nobody is certain. But we do know it is a
priceless antique worth thousand of dollars.
Customer: No way, I will give you a hundred bucks for it.

His problem is that he's too far from the Central Hive Collective Mind and
he's got poor reception . It's a bitch being without guidance .
Church member to his bishop : "Brother John , I think I might have gone
too far this time , I slept with my wife's sister."
Bro John the bishop: "Well , Bro Wallie , we have 2 options open to us .
We can excommunicate you ... Or , if The Lord leads you to make a large cash
donation to the church I can make you one of my counselers ..."

There is nothing to indicate that the holder on the bar is screw driven.
As a matter of fact quite the opposite. There is a knurled lock nu that
indicates it's really stationary. So I don't believe it travels the
rod... if it did why would it lock?

Machine tool lever sounds like a good guess, but no luck yet finding a reference
for it.

Correct, the vertical part does indeed move back and forth when the handle is
turned.

From what I remember it does not rotate but I just sent the owner an email
asking about it, I'll post his answer here when he replies.

I don't know the purpose of the knurled lock nut on the vertical part but I
stood
there and watched someone turn the handle and the vertical part moved along the
rail. I still haven't heard back from the owner about whether the other part
rotates, though I don't think it did.

You're right! I totally got this one wrong, somehow didn't remember correctly.
The
owner said it twists the wire and counts the revolutions. Good job on figuring
it
out. I asked if there was any patent or manufacturer text on it but he said
there
wasn't, and he just sold it for $100 so he no longer has access to it.

Posting from the usenet newsgroup rec.crafts.metalworking as
always.
3217) Looks like a tool for pulling difficult to extract nails.
3218) A wire stripper -- for heavy gauge wires. Looks like it bolts
down to a workbench, and it has small ratchet wrench as the
operating lever -- with a knob added to the handle.
3219) It looks more like an operating lever which clamps onto a shaft
(likely on a machine tool) instead of a tool in its own right.
3220) It looks to me to be an adaptor for something like a theodolite
or transit to a tripod. Likely one which is rather more
portable than most, based on how it folds up -- and on the
relatively small size. (Unless that is a scaled-up quarter of
reference. :-)
The three points receive three hollow cone adjustment points for
setting the instrument properly level.
3221) Looks like something designed to grip the end of a leather
strap. (the center bar would prevent it from being used to
scrape a strap along its length, which otherwise might be be an
option.
3222) Another interesting device.
My first guess (now rejected) was that it was for winding coils
with a known number of turns.
Instead, it is something for applying a twist to something held
between the two points, while one point is rotated a number of
turns.
The dial tells both how many turns, and how far the vertical
point has moved. The main beam is calibrated in 1/2" steps, and
it looks like the dial represents 0.001" per division (not sure,
with the 50-0-50 calibration, and difficult to get the gear
ratio without a view which lets me count the teeth on each gear.
At a guess -- the screw in the bar is 20 TPI which would allow
the 0-50 part to represent one turn of the screw and the crank.
Maybe it is for turning a really small drill bit, while feeding
the workpiece into it, but it is difficult to see both how
various sizes of drill bits could be held in the rotating part,
and how various workpieces could be held in the vertical part.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

I think not. This one has a projecting point which tightens
with the handle, and which goes into a dimple in the micrometer body
(probably on the side away from us in the photo).
The one in the puzzle is clamped from the sides, with a stronger
grip (not needed nor desired for a bore micrometer), and the heavy wood
handle suggests a significant amount of operating force needed.
I still think that it is an operating lever for some machine
tool.
Enjoy,
DoN.

The vertical holder has a projection into a groove on the bar,
where it engages a leadscrew on the same shaft as the handwheel. So, as
you crank the handwheel, the vertical holder is moved either towards or
away from the "headstock".
But what I *really* wonder about is whether the horizontal
holder rotates with the geared screw in the top, or whether it remains
stationary. Knowing that could help determine what it really does. If
it does not rotate, then a wire strain gauge is likely. If it does,
then either a self feeding drill assembly is a possibility -- or it
could be a tool for straightening wire (twisting wire under tension
tends to straighten it).
Enjoy,
DoN.

There actually is -- both the groove on the upper back side of
the bar leading in to the leadscrew which is inside the bar, and Rob
H.'s posted observation elsewhere in this thread.

Why not? Lock it while during setup and while zeroing the
dial's pointer, so you start from a known place.
Just as all of my lathes, whose carriage is intended to move
along the ways, have a lock screw and wrench to use when facing instead
of turning.
Enjoy,

Rob, I don't believe that 3222 is a wire tester.
There is no way that turning the wheel put's tension on the wire.
It twists it. And the counter counts the number of turns.

3222 used to twist wire. The slide on the bar controls where the
twisting starts to occur, and the holder on the top does the twisting.
The counter keeps track of the number of twists put in. Nice little unit.
pretty good the last few weeks...
