It is like us, trying to figure out what these puzzle tools do, when we don't even know what field they work in.
Would you expect to understand what a cow's tools do, when you don't even know what kind of work a cow might want to do with tools?
Enjoy, DoN.
According to R.H. :
Did you check whether the dimensions were the same side to side as top to bottom? I would expect them to be so, so it would not matter which way you installed it.
Enjoy, DoN.
I thought it might have something to do with the cow toolmaker's dexterity. ;-)
Thanks! Rich
You need your micrometers calibrated.
If I needed machining work done, and I found out that this is as close to .001" as your shop can even _measure_, I'd RUN, not walk, to the nearest exit!
Good Luck! Rich
The handle doesn't have a hole for a screw, it would make a good weapon but I don't know it was meant for that.
I measured it by rolling up a piece of paper, inserting it into the handle, taping the paper and then getting the diameter of the cylinder, which was
19/32". That makes it just under 5/8", probably thick enough for a fancy cane that's not meant to support much weight, I'm not familiar with riding crops and swagger-sticks so I don't know what size they usually were.Rob
OK, then. I was going by the apparent ratio of opening diameter to length in the picture, and your stated length of 3.5 inches. Yes, 5/8 is about right for an evening cane.
Yes it was same on both sides and top to bottom, so it could be used in either orientation.
