<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 4386162, member: 54"]Saw these on Eboo, screensaved some pictures.</p><p>1. Mr. Casey’s sine bar cheater. I determined it was made for use with a 5” sine bar, because the 30 degree side is 2.5 in. Long. One pic shows a commercial version “Oakland.” No idea who Casey was, but I’m pretty sure his gauge predates the Oakland patent. No idea if Casey invented this or just copied someone else’s design. I did buy this one, but mostly I just look.</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/189102681@N07/shares/zCqqxC" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/189102681@N07/shares/zCqqxC" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/189102681@N07/shares/zCqqxC</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>2.
