Question please Clive

 

When you wind the handles does some sort of guage / indication divice activate in the top?

 

I do enjoy these brain teasers but the hair is now getting thin after all the head rubbing. At this rate I will have to skin one of the dogs to make myself a wig.

I have to confess out of curiosity I let this one run a bit as Richard got in the first post!

 

Mounted on deck of a ship, for measuring depth to sea bed, with a chain.

 

Date, about 1913

 

It is is in fact the Kelvin Mk IV Sounding Machine that was standard equipment with the Royal Navy in 1937. I went to the trouble of removing the labels but, I am not sure if it would have made it any easier seeing it like this?
