Should have taken it out of storage beforehand and you might have found your way home earlier

This was in a carrier bag in my dads stuff, I think he must have kept it for some reason from 1976? strange we had the express and star back then not the birmingham post? maybe the express and star was more absorbant

Arc Tourist is correct, a Brown & Sharpe measuring tool (I had to google metrology).
But which one? (there will be a photo clue later)
Ok, as I will be busy and away from the computer tomorrow, I'm going to take a guess now. Since you mentioned that others probably didn't know what they were looking at, its most likely an old setup tool like a Planer Gage or perhaps a mechanical speed or RPM calculator.
Merry Christmas Everyone !
Sorry, you're miles (per hour) out.
Here's a clue.

I don't know the proper name fot it but is it for reading rpm or feed speed? It has a little wheel you hold against a moving part and a dial that displays either rpm or surface speedSorry, you're miles (per hour) out.
