2502. This tool is an Alidade,
a device that allows one to sight a distant object and use the line of sight to perform a task. This task can be, for example, to draw a line on a plane table in the direction of the object or to measure the angle to the object from some reference point. Angles measured can be horizontal, vertical or in any chosen plane. The alidade's primary use is for creating maps in the horizontal plane.

ReplyDelete2497 Agree with CarlB. It looks a lot like a LazyBoy chair handle (an older one).
ReplyDelete2497 is handle for a smaller sailboat.
ReplyDeleteI agree that 2497 is the handle from a recliner, probably a La-Z-Boy. The set screw tightens the handle to the drive rod, a steel rod that extends into the chair and engages the footrest of the chair. See: http://www.la-z-boy.com/Support/Customer-Support-Videos/
