If that's a dial speed indicator they are used by counting revolutions of the moving part such as at the end of a motor shaft.

What do you mean you don't know how it works? You're holding the instructions that tells you exactly how it works!

That speed indicator looks immaculate. Is it Starrett or Lufkin? I'm not sure but that could bring some decent money on Ebay given it's condition. That's my favorite style of file for sharpening lawn and garden tools but I don't recall ever seeing one that was tapered like that.

Well I know how to use it. I meant like inside of it. Not sure how the guts work.
