what is it used for, never heard of this before?

We used them for the topic in year 9? Simple machines. They attach to retort stands and you use then for levers.

We have a new way to do it without the blocks
The rulers have a big hole and it fits in the clamp using the end of the clamp works a treat.

Thanks for all your help Labbies
