Strange wedge
« on: June 27, 2012, 03:17:49 PM »
I found this little wedge at a flea market today.  It appears to be heavily embossed with "T & H" or "T & M".  It doesn't appear have the finesse of a machinist's wedge. It measures 2 1/2 inches in length at the base, 1 1/4" in height at the back, 1/4" in height at the front, and 1 1/8 inch in width.  Viewed endwise, the wedge is an isosceles triangle.

Anyone recognize this?

Maybe the T&M stands for Time & Materials then?

>Time & Materials

Some bored machinist spent 3 days on the clock making it to replace the $1 rubber one he lost....
