265751 Don Schwartz <dks@t...> 2018‑04‑22 a curious clamp
Jim Bode has sold a group of small clamps - said to be instrument 
makers' clamps. Three are typical small wooden clamps. But the fourth is 
an odd duck AFAIC, for two reasons I guess.

1. I can't figure out how it works, and

2. I can't see what it might be used for.

It seems that one of the screws , on the right side in the photo, might 
be used to mount the clamp onto something while the other is being put 
to work, but again, I don't see how. It seems like there should be a 
pivot point in there somewhere, but I can't see one.

Anyone have any ideas, or seen another like it?

Don, who finally got his CDs all shelved!
