>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 6 12:01:27 2018 No.1510396 Seems like it's some kind of device that may be used to scribe large curves/arcs, but if it's bench mounted that wouldn't make any sense. Maybe it's supposed to be mounted some other way, like on a wall or moveable arm or something.

I saw some shit on the history Chanel years ago about how coins are made and they had a thing that look that, what they did was.

make a big ass "coin" out of clay
let it dry
and they when they use this tool to trace the big ass clay coin it moves the other end exactly 1/10 or 1/20 the side they are moving. so they can get all the details into the coin molds.

I guess its kind of like a pantograph

I could be tottally fucking wrong though.

where did you find it. in a shop? if so what kind of shop.

like if you found it in a dog food factory its probably got something to do with dog food.

of course if you got it from a crazy old lady at a flea market then I guess its got something to do with crazy old lady bits.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 6 13:39:32 2018 No.1510471 I would guess it's a machinist or fabricator's measuring device. It could be specialized for one process of one item's manufacture. Does it move?

Too me it looks like old (naval?) artillery aiming device or some aid for it.
You had to calculate your speed & direction, enemy speed & direction, distance, bullet speed....
It would explain why it's stationary. I'm not a native speaker, try fucking with 'artillery protractor', or maybe ask /k/.

It’s better than being the typical American who feels the need to worthlessly answer a question with an uneducated guess.

Duh I think it’s pic related.

I have the answer for you, OP.

What you are in possession of is a sort of "computer" for aiming torpedoes, known as a "Torpedo Director". Using the apparatus, a seaman would be able to compute the optimal path for a torpedo given an enemy ship's given distance and speed. Your model in particular is an early Soviet version that would be found on early torpedo boats like the G-5.
