    Don't knock it until you've seen it.
    That's all I'm sayin...

    I just recently decided to put internal cable on the rear brake side of my bike. That camera would have come in handy. I know on down tubes [ no mice jokes] some frames have a bit of carbon across making it impossible to go internal so your camera would be very useful in stopping someone drilling a hole that would be of no use.

    Ok, two days without a picture. That won't do.

    Obviously measures something, but what? It's sitting on a sheet of A4 BTW to give you some scale.

    Measures the area under a graph, or the surface area of a leaf, that sort of thing. Can't remember what its called though.

    Looks like some kind of rebound measuring device - maybe for comparative density checking or to measure trampoline springiness?

    Wow.

    Just 6 minutes before the correct answer. :lol:

    Over to you natrix.

    It's a lovely piece of kit by the way, and as natrix says, it's for measuring the area under a graph or off a map. On map you can can set the scale by moving the wheel part along the arm and then get a direct reading. Watching it work is just weird, because sometimes the wheels go backwards or don't move at all, but the answer is right.
