Hello members. One of our members, Bruce Morgan, gave me permission to share these photos and a link to his eBay store in case you are interested in the purchase of this unique rack over alignment tool for your NC/BNC. When this item sells if will live on in this thread to document this rare factory item.

In aged but complete condition. May have been used at Mitchell Company or at a camera department at the studio. I have used Mitchell Rack Over Cameras for over 15 years and this device was used to confirm alignment of the brass stops on the L plate.
1 - THE CAMERA BOX WAS RACKED OFF
2 - THIS DEVICE WAS RACKED ON
3 - THE GROUND GLASS SIGHTING ELEMENTS WERE USED TO Align the rack over tool and the ground glass cross hair target through the taking aperture of the L plate. After rectification alignment was done the brass gibs or stops were tapped or moved into place on the L plate so that when reintroducing the camera box the camera would rack over properly.
