Set 212
1179. 37" long as seen in this first photo, the notch in the arm holds a level:
The lower piece of wood is hinged with the upper one and can be pivoted and held in position with the latch, making the total length 74". It's numbered 1 through 18, with each number
representing 4".
A little hard to see, but there are 1" increments between the numbers:
1180. 5-1/2" long, an unidentified tool submitted by a visitor; descriptions of the photos below:
- in the normally closed position.
- as achieved by pulling back on the lower knurled piece.
- an exploded view.

This view shows the internal beveled groove in the sliding piece that mates with the tip:
1181. 24" tall:
1182. 3" long, submitted by someone who was looking to identify this device:

1184 - Without seeing a side-view of the item, it looks like a downward-looking view of a rotor for a medium-to-high speed centrifuge. The silver-colored center portion would screw into the centrifuge's spindle and hold the rotor in place, with the dark colored portion being the fixed-angle rotor itself. The outer silver area would be the "floor" of the centrifuge.
