Interesting.  When looking at this I tripped over another DEC related item:

I'm not sure what you'd use it for unless you were manufacturing DECtape reels, but it certainly is interesting.  You could make one yourself, if you have a lathe and the ability to hold tight tolerances.  One of the photos actually shows the dimensions as written on the gauge.
