Description from the seller
This object is a planimeter, an instrument used for measuring areas on maps and drawings. It is often kept in a protective box with red velvet or fabric lining.
Function: To determine the area of a region by tracing its outline.
Parts: It usually consists of a measuring wheel, a tracer arm, and a counter arm.
The gold-colored logo in the middle is from In-GUT, an importer or distributor of technical measuring instruments.
The code 9580-00 at the top right is likely a specific model or serial number from the manufacturer (such as Ott or Coradi), who such instruments often sold through importers like In-GUT.
Instrument: The planimeter itself is mainly made of metal, probably an alloy such as silver, stainless steel, or another metal. The large wheels on the sides have a serrated surface (toothing) for grip.
Case: The case is probably made of wood, covered with black leather or artificial leather.
Lining: The interior of the case is lined with red velvet or a similar fabric.
