Any Idea what this stuff is?

[YYCHM]

It was in the bottom of a NIB DI I recently acquired. Three of those spoon/arm looking things and three pkg of 2 ea what look to be small spring metal clips. The cap fits the DI but don't have a clue why there would be two.

No instructions but the box appears to have vernier height gauge dial gauge cylinder gauge on it?

It's a spindle lifting lever for the indicator.

I'm not sure why you have three. They are generally used when mounted in a checking fixture. The indicator is zeroed at a known set point from a nest pad. The lever is used to retract the spindle so the part can be loaded and then lower the spindle to measure the part.

They act as pointers ( like a watch hand ) ie. to establish if the part falls within a tolerance range.
