FREE Allen Syncrograph Model E135 automotive distributor testing machine. What an antique! I have no idea if it works but it would sure look great as a display piece once cleaned up. You haul, no...craigslist
it's a device for tuning automotive distributors. looks like it's missing the chuck? you clamp the distributor onto that arm, and then a chuck is supposed to go from the plate up to the distributor. you put the wires on it and the thing spins the distributor at various speeds (see the 'engine speed' gauge) and the firing points show up on the plate at the bottom. the charts are various ignition timing information for various engines, so you can see how far off your distributor is and figure out what you need to change.
I haven't seen anyone use one of these things since I was a little kid, and I'm old as hell

It is actually very difficult to externally rotate the hips as much as they do in ballet for some people that have never trained in it even if they can do the splits and had a lot of yoga
Balancing on only the toes instead of the whole foot is also challenging
These two features make ballet exercise unique compared too many other common types of exercise and uniquely different than many other types of dance

More men should do ballet training exercises but not necessarily perform
Let the woman continue to suffer a shortage of male danseurs
Princess Tutu is a Japanese Anime that goes into great detail about ballet style when people move
Even when they are running or dance fighting they run with the hips externally rotated like in ballet
If you like ballet I strongly reccommend watching Princess Tutu if you can watch the whole series for free

This reminded me of her.
Sorry for rambling. Perhaps it was just cathartic release.
Aside: yoga is not a fitness regime. It is a spiritual practice to be grounded with Nature. Western ideas have subverted it. Unfortunate.
Also: The Russians were clearly better at this performance of Swan Lake. Synchronization and smoothness of movement.

salary questions come off as desperate or greedy. I would only discuss when an offer is made or the interviewer brings it up first.
Asking about work culture sounds like you're someone who is difficult to work with or has high expectations for special treatment.
Job responsibilities is basic stuff.. What's the problem with that one?
@Valvoline
I get the preference against discussing salary, but everything else should be on the table. The candidate is interviewing the company just as much as vice versa, so some information before accepting a second interview or offer is required.
I would certainly ask about the job scope and what kind of awesome projects they have to look forward to.
