I believe Richard Babcock had a photo in one of his books that was a series of circles, all with a common center. He suggested that this was a master template for the measurements that the dividers would be set to each workday. A different size circle depending on what member was being "walked off" at the time. It was not a daisy wheel, but perhaps that was the same reason for finding them in an obscure location?
