Numeral stamping block
Stamping head to fit in a hydraulic stamping press which was used for marking a volumetric calibrated brass tee-section diprod. The levers index the numerals, which are displayed the right way round to be read just below with the raised inverted numbers at 90 degrees. The tool coulb be slid sideways to mark the line.
The company I worked for (Chiltern Glass Fibres Ltd) engraved their diprods as glass fibre could not be stamped.
During the height of metrication in the 1980s over 1000 rods a week would converted from gallons to litres and dispatched. This included wooden rods for road tankers.
