That surveying instrument is also called an alidade. In this case a telescope alidade. It was used with a table that was leveled on the horizontal and oriented on a north/south axis to construct maps of an area or similar surveying tasks. Many years ago I used one to build up maps of agricultural fields and features of note such as wetlands, buildings, trees, etc. You could make an accurate map in a short amount of time if you knew what you were doing.
As a retired surveyor, I began in the 60's using old instruments like this ! It's called a Clinometer ( from "Inclinometer"), and also used as an alidade when Plane Table Surveying.
Edit @6:40
As a site engineer I was quite used to having an upside down image . Then I got a new Japanese level . It had another lens giving a right side up image . Was I confused !! Somebody told me new born babies see things upside down 😊
Last item part of a radio antenna setup
Last object looks like the antenna part of a radiosonde, used with an equipment package, attached to a parachute and large weather ballon.
Tracks wind speed temperature, and humidity at each altitude, until the balloon bursts, used, by your local meteorological office..
The object at 6:00 is also known as a cresset. I've seen them in use at places like Colonial Williamsburg.
From Wikipedia : A cresset is a metal cup or basket, often mounted to or suspended from a pole, containing oil, pitch, a rope steeped in rosin or something flammable. They are burned as a light or beacon.
Comment on the commercial at the beginning of this video for Guggenheim scissors. OK, but I can top THAT. I have my grandmother's Wiss scissors. She bought those before I was born in 1952. I have them in my drawer, and I can cut silk, leather, anything with them. They are STILL sharp as razors! 75 year old scissors! Top THAT! The only thing sharper is a lightsaber!
Last item seems to be a vintage water gauge, maybe for measuring rainfall or on a weather balloon like others mentioned.
Thanks! Next time I'm in the area I will scout around for the cube and any other debris.
Last item is part of an antenna like ham radio hf.
!st item... Wisconsin Cheese head hat,Lol!
lt is part of a weather instrument that ascended by a weather balloon.
Correct! It is the antenna portion of a weather radiosonde that would transmit data back to the station about temperature, humidity, altitude, and such.
Thank you for solving a long family mystery item from my my husbands side! We now know that the item is a clothesline holder!
You're welcome!
That last one, I'm more curious about why that lake was named "SNAFU" lake, there's got to be a good story behind that!
Indeed, and not a story that is easy to find! I tried, too.
Snafu is a military acryonym for “Situation Normal - All ‘Fouled’ Up.” It was 1 of 2 forest fire crew camps in the late 1950s.
@@ktkat1949 I knew the acronym… why was it used for the camps? Did they consider forest fires SNAFUs?
@@ktkat1949 I'm well aware of what that acronym stands for, that's why I figured there has to be a good story behind it.
Part of an old lamp.
That last item appears to be a part of a water level detecting system. That is just a guess but an educated guess.
Used to measure rainfall
The last object is an attention getter, if it is raining maybe a light will go on, or it'll zap a bug, my guess is a measuring device for sap sugar content or flow, no frikken idea but I loves weird whatcha-macallets, that's a good one and we're puzzled and hoping one day somebody figures it. We enjoy oddities, keep up the great work folks!
👁👁 always a pleasure… 8:36
Content good, but oh boy that robo voice for the narration is rubbish! Apart from the fact that it can't pronounce many things properly!
The mystery object is a roulette wheel,
