E.R. Burroughs TARZAN JEWELS OF OPAR McClurg, Facs DJ!

E.R. Burroughs TARZAN JEWELS OF OPAR McClurg, Facs DJ! - eBay (item 310061360778 end time Jun-27-08 18:28:11 PDT)

This A.C. McClurg first edition, first state 1918 hard cover copy of Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar by Edgar Rice Burroughs comes with a facsimile DJ. All eight J. Allen St. John illustrations are in this edition.

Editor Robert H. Davis gives this summary: "The ape man goes back after more of the forgotten ingots in the treasure vaults of the ancient city of Opar and discovers a room full of jewels after being injured during an earthquake and losing his memory. A Belgian murderer and an Arab raider join forces to abduct Lady Greystoke and ruin Tarzan. Basuli is there, and Mugambi, with other old friends of the family. Cadj, the high priest of Opar, probably the coarsest hidden city diplomat that ever reigned, because of his jealously of Tarzan, spills all the beans that one man can spill in one volume. Tarzan triumphs."

Antique BF Goodrich TIRE INFLATION GAUGE Caliper Scale!

Antique BF Goodrich TIRE INFLATION GAUGE Caliper Scale! - eBay (item 310061358966 end time Jun-27-08 18:20:14 PDT)

This antique tool was used to measure tire inflation before there was a way to measure pounds per square inch air pressure. It's marked, "Goodrich Inflation Gauge, B.F. Goodrich, Akron Ohio."

The instructions include two diagrams showing the gauge measuring a tire's narrow width at the top where it's off the ground, and fatter width on the ground. There's patina obscuring some words but I think it says:
To determine proper inflation under present load, fit caliper to tire. Refer to "Size Scale." Transfer slide to correct loading letter on "Load Scale." Place caliper at width of deflection on ground and inflate or deflate as case demands.
The Size Scale of Tire scale runs from A to N. The Scale on Ground scale runs from A to L. I can't get the sliding part to slide, either because there's a trick I don't know or because there's patina holding it fast. There's a shinier place to the right which indicates it was covered and protected from patina, proof the slider did slide before. The legs unfold easily enough.
