Jerry is wrong I think, that was the first use for it, but later they worked out if you slipped it over your exhaust pipe end, when the car was on a slope, it showed the degrees, and then you have to factor in the temperature of the pipe in degrees, and then multiplied that number shown by the number of gallons of gas left in the tank, giving you a figure which you then subtracted the total of the tire pressures, and that then told you if the car would tip over. If it showed it would, you had to loosen the clamp, and set the gizmo so it was horizontal. At least that is what it might be - or maybe not??! Otherwise, it could be a handy paperweight.

You screwed ir around a person's neck and set how much food they could eat from 1-10 ounces. I've used it several times to reduce my weight in order to get into my Sunday best suit.
