John,

Did you ever get pictures of the gadget that fastens on the rule?  If 
not, I'll take a couple of pictures and put them up on Picasa.  I went 
rummaging through the shop yesterday and found my No. 100 miter machine 
hiding in a corner and two of the "gadgets" (of different vintage) in 
one of the machinist's chests.  Both appear to be cast iron.  One is 
black and one is blue.  I used to have one of the rules (and two that I 
had made before I found an original), but they seem to have disappeared.

GG's,
Over the past weekend I acquired a Marsh 100 miter machine from a 
neighbor. I'm tickled. I've always wanted one of these. Judging from the 
PDF at Stan Faullin's site the only pieces missing are the ruler and 
whatever you call the heart shaped thing that slides along the ruler. So 
I understand what these parts look like but what were the originals made 
of? Does anybody have some pictures of them somewhere? I checked the 
Archives and Stanley no longer seems to stock parts for its older line 
of tooling anymore. If (and it's a big IF) I ever get around to cobbling 
up some sort of replacement I'd like to attempt to make it seem like it 
belongs to this tool.
