I wish...it's a clusterf%$k already...they start restricting access and closing down streets today and I'm trying to get an ALTA survey of a building the government is auctioning off as surplus property out the door by Tuesday.

You should walk over to the White House, with a cloth tape, plumb bob, and clipboard, and say your here to do a survey for a new fence/wall around the property.

Plus the carry box doesn't make sense.

It could have been used to move ammunition since brass is non-ferrous.

Does the axle have ball bearings? Looking at pic I'm not sure. Polished and boxed it looks laboratory grade.
