    Default Can you identify this...thing?

    Hi all,
    I wonder if anyone has any idea what this gadget is/was?
    Apologies for the woeful phone camera pictures.

    Cheers
    Mick

    I think it is a cutting head from a Phillips electric razor, from an era when men were MEN

    EG - perhaps yet another way to skin a cat, since there are apparently so many ways to do it?

    I would have said it could have been a stepper rotor out of an old PMG phone exchange - the post WW2 ones were about half that size, the NSW Police had their's until the mid 1980's - there were only a few blokes that could maintain them then & Telstra was very keen to rip them out & retire the mechanics. I think it was the Haymarket exchange that had the last pulse operated machinery in Sydney.
