Hi all,
New to the forum and I wanted to post here to see if anyone knows what this device I have is and its purpose.
I picked it a a while back, (the box came with it) and have been unable to find any references to it on the net. I am guessing that it is some kind of pre-electronic laser power meter, but that's just a guess. It has an illuminated reticule and when you look into the eyepiece there is a scale.
If you shoot a laser beam into one end, it has some kind of glass-metallic-ceramic shield the beam shows as a line on the scale, you can then rotate the counter on the back of the device until the line for the beam and the scale line up. Since I only have access to an old HeNe I have nothing else to compare the results with.
You can see pictures of it at the following URL.

Any thoughts, opinions, guesses etc are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks
Gordon
