New Continostat Pictures

Here are some better pictures with details

The shims. (Usually referred to as "splines")

There are three thicknesses of shims, 5mm (5.5mm on all those I measured), 7mm and 9mm

I assume there are supposed to be 4 of each size in a given length, but some are missing from the various lengths.

The lengths are 20mm,30mm,40mm,50mm,60mm,100mm (105mm measured), 200 mm, 400 mm and 800mm(measured 868mm)

Spline clamps. 90 degrees. 12 total, two different types of bodies. Stamped "1"
