subby, the picture gives me so little information that I don't know where to start narrowing down the possibilities. This one is almost a pure Twenty Questions.

There's quite a bit of information in this picture. What you see is in its closed state.

Awesome we didn't need 20 questions.

I'll post up the original in a minute. It's a digital caliper. In the olden days this would have been called a vernier caliper before being digitised and hence losing the vernier scale.

Thanks, I was an auto tech for 25 years. Mine is old and has a dial.
