A gray scale anaglyph viewable with red/cyan 3d glasses.
Parts of a drafting set.
Still need to add a pencil, various containers for leads and maybe some
plastic triangles/french curves.
Not that I'm old enough to have used any of this stuff ;-)
Comments welcome:

<grin> those are still on my desk. Not that they are of daily use
though, but once in a while they are quite useful.

Me neither. ^_^
One tool I had was a flat spline similar to the one on Wikipedia but
with a square cross section. They were called something different when I
was at school.

Never used a pencil sharpener, always used a knife to put a square
chisel point on pencils.

The four draftsmen:
Luxury!
We were to poor to have a pencil... or a knife.
We used a lump of coal from the stove, still on fire, to draw with.

You don’t expect me to believe that do you?
I know for a fact that a Canadian Belt Knife is a traditional
christening present and all boys get a lumberjack axe so that they can
join in the sport of axe throwing. :-P
Now on the other hand. We were so poor that we could not afford memories…

I have not been doing a lot of graphics recently and when I did I mostly
preferred working on animations.
The page below is an alpha test for the TC-RTC site and the links
without a thumbnail needs to be opened and right click the video icon
and view image. A couple of them are cyclic.

Here goes :)
There was once an Inn called “And and PovRay”. When the innkeeper
commissioned a sign for it. The spacing was wrong. He told the artist.
“I would like more space between ‘And’, and ‘and’ and ‘and’ and
‘PovRay’.”

Oops!
The same word six times consecutively.
That must have been a Freudian slip. :(

It is not the first time that someone has said that they cannot
understand me. ;)
Without the single and double quantitation marks.
I want more space between the word And [you] and the word and
also I want more space between the word and, and the word PovRay.
Simply put the innkeeper wanted a larger white space.
And - and - PovRay
It is easier to understand when spoken as you can hear the emphasis on
the different ands.
It is technically correct but it is not good English.

If I have my numbers right, that's a 0.5mm pencil, not needing to be
sharpened.

The "porte mines criterium 2613 corps metal 2mm conte"? No, that's
certainly a 2mm pencil mine holder.
(Presuming Thomas meant the second-to-last one on the first page, not
the second-to-last one in the entire category; that one would be a
0.5-0.7mm silver paint pen.)

Say, I always presumed you were from some English-speaking country...
but now I notice that your drafting equipment is predominantly of German
origin. So excuse my curiosity, but where _do_ you actually hail from?

The vinyl pouch the set came in has 'charvoz' on the front and 'Made In
Canada' on the back. Although I think only the pouch was made here.
Some of the other pieces where acquired separately.

And not to confuse things, here is a 2mm lead holder, without the end
caps, or the leads, or the little harp symbol.

Given that they all say "Germany", it would indeed be quite a surprise
if they were made in Canada ;)

Let's put it this way: I think the pouch /content/ was made here.
As for the timestamps on my news group postings, I'm of course faking
them to confuse people ;)

I thought he meant that it was the last one owned but one. Or the one he
had before the last one.
Maybe someone would translate that into English, for me. :)
This is mine sans the cap and top. I throw that away as soon as I get
it. (I use the rubber a lot. Okay! the eraser.)

German made technical what do you call ems. Good quality and desirable.
As an aside.
Did you know that there are several internet Slide Rule museums. Many
more than when I last looked.

Confusion! Confusion! I am deeply sorry :-)
It is as clipka says: I had not been aware that there were more pages on
the site. So it is the 2mm mine holder.

Semantics, my friend. I just tried to be concise. Never do that in a

Everyday English doesn't handle logical construction of sentences very

You end up sounding like Yoda the truth be told. :)
Or maybe I worked in the Netherlands one job too many. ;-)

I use them as a Memento Mori of where I have worked. I have misplaced
