Measuring tool consisting of a disc or wheel (approx. 20 cm) that rotates on an axis fixed in an iron or wooden handle. Disc or wheel can be made of wood, iron or a combination of both (1). Usually there is a radial mark. After the wheelwright has driven the rims on the spokes (see also spoke dog) the wheel returns to the blacksmith to be ironed. That craftsman measures the circumference of the wheel by rolling the traveller over the wheel and transferring the same number of rotations to the iron band. Then he can chop or cut it to the desired length. The tracing wheel is also used sporadically by the millwright when covering the millstone with iron hoops. See also the wheeled verge cutter.

In addition to the hairdresser's trimmer, and those for dogs and sheep, there is a larger model for horses and cattle. It is quite heavy (almost 400 gr) and is used with both hands. Two metal arms, which rotate on a spindle, each end in turn in a rectangular blade, which is mounted either forwards or sideways. The lower rectangular blade is larger (about 8 cm by 4 cm) than the top one (about 7.5 cm by 3.5 cm) and both have 32 teeth for the horses on the upper long side. By moving the arms apart or together, the serrated blades slide horizontally over each other. The hair that ends up between the teeth is cut off in no time. The same model but with 17 teeth is used for cattle. See also the dog dresser's knife and the trimmer for dogs and sheep. [MOT]

If you need a knife and fork while traveling, this tourists' set is a solution. It consists of a knife and a dinner fork, which are held together during transport by sliding them together, connecting them with a clasp or by putting them in a pouch. In some cases there is also the option to store a tablespoon (1). See also the camping knife and pocket knife. [MOT] (1) Eg. "Richard Abr. Herder stahlwaren- und werkzeugfabrik'': 189.
