luigi bertolotti Posted May 14, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2016 Intriguing... I'haven't by sure ever seen it, but reasoning with calm about it can bring to some hipotesis.... wood base makes it to think of a lab equipment... there is an electrical cable (small lamp to be mounted in the center black receptacle ?) ... the style of the Leitz logo at left suggests, I think, postwar time... the two rectangular "boxes" have dimensions that suggest glass plates for microscopes... but just a guess... let me think a little (in the meantime someone of the forum, who likes also non strictly photographic Leitz equipment, can have a precise answer... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpo Posted May 14, 2016 Share #3 Posted May 14, 2016 Seems to be an old horizontal needle pipette puller with missing heating coil (should be plugged into the black socket in the middle). But only one small picture, I do not know ... Greetings Wolfgang Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebidwell Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted May 14, 2016 Hi there I've just been advised by Mike Stokes who used to manage the "Ace Cameras Yate Branch" that the mystery item is something called a DuBois Needle Pulling Machine which was manufactured by Leitz in the 1930's until the 1950s. and was used to make glass micropipette tools.

I agree, but with 50 years of progress they (modern pipette pullers) are still a PITA to use! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing, I wish I'd had one as a kid, I was the only person in the class that couldn't make a drawn pipette using a Bunsen burner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
