TrevorGCB&W Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 This strange instrument was found amongst the workshop I purchased from a retired engineer/modelmaker some years ago and it has confounded far more experienced brains than mine. I also acquired at the same time a large collection of ME mags going back to the 1950s and searching them has not yielded anything. It fits the lathe bed of my Myford 7 and has a toggled centre pin enabling maybe a disc shaped workpiece to be mounted under the swivelling pointer arm. There aren't any graduation markings visible. Someone out there must have an idea! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SHMD Posted February 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2019 Is it for use with an indexing wheel? Kev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorGCB&W Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 That has been suggested before but the indexing wheel that I acquired at the same time had no chance of fitting and even if it had I can't see how it would work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Looks a little like it may have been made for a specific job, perhaps to align a part when setting up ?. It's not unusual to make a fixture to help speed up a process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted August 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) A tad late, so apologies. Is it a base for a DTI clock? Cheers, Ian. Edit. Having had another look, it appears to be an adjustable angle bracket to hold a clock via and onto the lathe bed. The profile of the lower segment would appear to be a centre-specific piece. The upper portion likewise. Edited September 9, 2020 by tomparryharry yes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
