Wondering of anyone can help with ideas about what the attached objects might be. They come from the University of Melbourne Archives, possibly collected in the 1970s-80s by Frank Strahan, possibly from Melbourne University engineering, chemistry, geology or other department, or from a business that also donated company papers. Unfortunately there are no accession details to go with them.

The first is described as "Rock Over Gauge"<http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GY2AMVMkopU/TPRf9hrnb6I/AAAAAAAAAC8/bvOUvLJVOXE/s1600/UO39.%2Brock%2Bover%2Bgauge.jpg> and is about 1.5m long with a timber box containing several timber rods.

 T he other is a group of metal rods,<http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GY2AMVMkopU/TPRgDdOKhZI/AAAAAAAAADE/HH7FOoDy7HU/s1600/UO84.jpg> some with turned ends, and two metal rings with wires attached (welded or soldered) I am trying to find out what the writing on a couple is.

I will add some more photos to my blog <http://australianarchaeology.blogspot.com/> when I get them

thankyou  in anticipation.
