People who wonder if the glass is half empty or half full, miss the point. The glass is refillable.

Re: Bear Alignment Tool
Do you have a photo? I have a Bear catalog; it's probably shown in it.

Re: Bear Alignment Tool
I think I posted a page or two before. Will do so as soon as I dig it up. It's not where it was supposed to be.

Re: Bear Alignment Tool
I have one just like it. I got mine from my sister-in-law who got it from her grandfather who worked as a ford mechanic and said that it came from ford garage. I also don't know how to use it.

Re: Bear Alignment Tool
I also have one with the round plates, later ones were oval. Originally these tools were all copper plated (and probably laquered). I have seen instructions for this type of tool going back to 1928 (if I remember right) but illustrations showed the later oval plates, so I believe these with the round plates to be T era.
