john commented on the word brannock device
The clipboard-meets-ruler gizmo you see at every shoe store for measuring feet. I've always thought this sounded a lot more ominous than it is. If I ever write a thriller, I'll probably call it "The Brannock Device."

I would read a book called that. Sounds like a mind control machine, or a an undisableable Cold War-era timebomb.

It definitely sounds like something a Bond villain would be constructing.

A foot-measuring device used in shoe stores. Made of metal. We all used them as children when shopping for shoes.
