Drafting kit, Straight Razor, Some kind of Rolling Measuring Device.

[mart]

 This is very confusing !!!

The rolling device also looks like the device I would use for measuring distances on blueprints for estimating. The only thing is I do not see any 1/8 inch to 1 foot scale on it. It would make sense being found with a drafting kit.

Before they invented computer programs to do it ....... these were all drawn by hand, to wit:

USGS TOPO (topographical) maps

This is very confusing !!!

this should help!! ..but then ..maybe not...M,A,D,s...music....

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
