Here is a picture of a manual Brinell tester. Not the oldest (try Detroit Testing Machine) but trust me it is old.

The foundry that I CO-OP with had these machines on foundry floor for a quick check on test bars to make ladle or air furnace adjustments. One could take a chill bar and a hardness check and hit the physicals for cast and malleable iron without any problem.
Are you mentioning any of the other testers, like the Scleroscope?

I am currently writing an "introduction to hardness and hardness testing" as a 100 slide power point presentation for students - and I am describing the development of testing - this does include the scleroscope (which I have never seen face to face!). I would be interested in any information on the subject.
