hello to the group:
can anyone ID this piece of Pretec (swiss-made) gauging equipment? the only markings are an "ms" on the front panel; some piece of thickness/surface gauging equipment? selectable for inches/um, various scales, etc.

tnx in advance for any info; if you want to directly email me w/ any info that is appreciated also.
tnx, barry carson city nv
This looks like the current model of the version you have :

To paraphrase Jon - it looks like an amplifier for a gage head. I don't know aboute Pretec but the B&S versions were available with either finger or plunger style gage heads. Together, they make for a super sensitive indicator.

As Jon said, it's the amplifier/display head for a dual LVDT measuring system. You can either have 2 probes individually reading, or you can take the sum of the two. (A+B) If you want to see what a modern version of something like this looks like, go to edmunds.com and look at the Accusetter or Trendsetter systems.
The nice thing is the (A-B) or difference. e.g. - room air vs. test area - the wall is withholding the value of A-B.
