Lot 2 Vintage German OpisometersMap Measurement Tools
One is by company \"Tacro, Inc.\" The other is labeled \"Compass\" and has a compass (working) on the other side.
One, I think, is pre-WW2, as it uses the old Russian word \"verstes\". A \"verst\" is a unitof measurement, a bit longer than a kilometer. The USSR switched to \"kilometers\" in the 1930\'s, to get on the same page with the rest of Europe.
Anopisometer, also called a curvimeter, meilograph, or map measurer, is an instrument for measuring the lengths of arbitrary curved lines. My father had one of these (plastic) in the 1950\'s, which he used to trace along a map to get approximate mileage. It also had a scale adjustment.
These also double as mechanical pencils, handy for measuring, then making notes.
Thanks for looking!
