Anybody know what this is ?

The item, made up of several metal discs, is about 12 inches (30cm) long and is stored in a black case labelled "Electrical Services Division".

Any Tiffs out there or amateur detectives ?

Is it some kind of auger?

 

[Ballistic]

Might be part of the kit that that the guys who muck about on high voltage pylons use....

.....or it could be a Klingon weapon

 

[finknottle]

It's the fuse from a photon torpedoe, most probably from the star ship Enterprize.

 

[rod-gearing]

Looks a bit like a screw down non return gangle pin.

I could be wrong.

 

[SONAR-BENDER]

It's a cam shaft for a Daf Variomatic :lol:

 

[WreckerL]

Serious note..it looks like a set of go/no go gauges (to check hole dimensions)

Or a robotic butt plug.

Do it yourself Tesla Coil?

Who would use one of those, WreckerL?

As Ballistic has said, they're used by engineers and gunners to prove there is no distortion in gun barrels, pipework or any other type of hole (steady boys, no amplififcation required). Also a quick and easy way to find out a holes general diameter with out using micrometers or vernier calipers.

Standing by for sexually laden innuendo from the bretheren
