Once - quite a while ago - laid out laid out on Habré a couple of posts in which it was proposed to guess the appointment of a strange kind of stationery. In connection with the discovery of new artifacts, I continue.
What do you think these things are for?
In order not to facilitate the identification of devices, the inscriptions on them are erased.
These original designs were used a century ago. Source: Bisiness Journal, 1910-12.

Purpose of object No. 1
No, this is not a comb for removing harmful microorganisms from writing paper, it is a pen for drawing a stave (that is, musical rulers).
Please, in the original form. Next, for comparison, a similar device for drawing columns of dollars and cents in financial tables.

Purpose of object No. 2
Just a pencil sharpener , though of an unusual design. Brand Name - Jupiter.
It resembles a miniature sized lathe, in the cartridge of which a pencil is inserted instead of an iron blank.

Purpose of object No. 3
Nobody will guess the purpose of the third object. It is impossible to guess, in my opinion, especially since the Writing controller is poorly translated into Russian. Although in general it is clear: we have a finger clip in front of us while writing texts.
If you look closely at the picture (the quality is traditionally unimportant, unfortunately), you can see two small plaques on the index and thumb. That is, the required length is set on the clamp, the width of the fingers, then the clamp is taken inside the palm of the hand and put on the index and thumb, tightly pressing them to each other. As a result, fingers do not get tired during operation.
Gordon brand controller, an indispensable adaptation of the pre-computer era.
I would not refuse something like that, which allows you to relax your fingers while working on a computer keyboard. Twenty years of continuous clicking on the keys affect: begin to ache in the joints on the right hand.
