If you had a cylinder and you wanted to mark out 360 deg. around it, you would adjust the height of the thing by varying the angle, place the cylinder against the point, and rotate it. If you had a rectangular cross-section you could draw it across the sharp point. I suspect it's a jig sort of a thing. The maker used it to scribe some long-forgotten piece of work.JRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225789329293174703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759006589213476640.post-52759608893182381552010-07-06T18:07:05.377+01:002010-07-06T18:07:05.377+01:00I know exactly what it is.
