Product Description
An Abtus voidmeter measuring device which was used in conjunction with measured shovel packing under railway sleepers. This is a rare survivor when the railways track was maintained by highly skilled manual working track gangs. This tool is in excellent working order and would make a great display item.
Ther is an excellent British Transport Film which is available on DVD or Youtube called Measured shovel packing where this tools use is shown.....very interesting!
