Finally unpacking and de-cluttering stuff from auctions and estate sales.
Trying to figure out what some of these items are and if they are of any use
to me or perhaps someone else - before pitching or donating.
Instead of laboring away searching the net I thought I would impose and take
the easy way out and utilize the knowledge banks of other members here. :D

1.) Some type of Handle Dial. Got it in the purchase of the 14x40 lathe, but I don't
think it goes with that.

2.) 'Z'-Axis dial for a mill? It's an oddball IMO, the graduations are 0-250 looks like.
If anyone has a use for this I'd like to pass it on for a donation to this site and shipping only.
Hate to pitch it and find out it is worth more than it's weight in scrap to someone.
I am willing to measure it in greater detail if questions arise.

3.) Indexing Plates. Would these go with my 8" Ro-Tab clone? and does it look complete?
I did do a bit of searching and found images of Ro-Tabs with plates attached.
Unfortunately there isn't a tailstock. And to check the Ro-Tab I have to wait for some
help to pull it out and get it up on a bench.

Just observing, if the marks were degrees one would expect 360 divisions. But this looks like less than 250 segments indicated.

They are probably devised in thousandths. Looks like a mill knee handle arbor on the ends.
 
The dividing plates look complete and should fit an 8 in table depending on whether it uses 3 or 4 hole mounting. But you can redrill them if you need to adapt them to your table too.
