266801 Bill Webber <ol2lrus@v...> 2018‑10‑15 Re: Gimlets?
Poor form again, continuing my own discussion, but...  Mr. Hilton was 
consistent in the way he made his dividers and partitions for his 
tools.  Specifically, if the tool was round, his dividers were round. If 
the tool had square shanks, the dividers were square or rectangular.  So 
the tool is just as likely something with a square or rectangular shank 
and not a gimlet at all.
