The official tag is under the picture is: "RARE CRAFTSMAN ROLLING DISTANCE GAUGE". The pointy end is also important as it can be used to count turns on a spinning shaft. To use as a distance gauge you multiply the circumference of the washer by the turn count. It is designed to take custom washers of any size. BOINC WIKI ID: 1573178 ·
