Looks good! Could be a useful bargain.

What is it? Bore Gauge, or Depth gauge? (Can't see for the tissue paper.

Rings a bell from somewhere; not an ordinary DTI – I think it's for measuring bent crankshafts?

Could it possibly be a Capstan 'stroke setting gauge'? Just a thought with it being a Capstan No. 7??

Or it could be a length gauge, are the threaded rods of nominal lengths?

Nice piece of kit which as you say Martin has hardly been used by the look of it.

SOD has it.

Its for measuring crankshaft deflection when the engine is solidly coupled to what ever it is driving. The gauge is usually fitted between the webs of the crank throw nearest to the load, "the drive end". Then shims are fitted under the engine or the load until the deflection is within the specified limits. Still a very relevant piece of measuring equipment.

Used on larger engines as you need to be able to get inside the crankcase through the crankcase doors.
