Identify this strange instrument
I bought a small lot of misc stuff in order to get some gauge block accessories and one of the items was this strange thing.
Made by M.S.E Australia, its all alloy and came with a 0.01mm dial indicator in the box which attaches in holes either side of the body. It looks as though its for centering something. the funny dovetail bit on top spins inside the bottom element I dont think its really machining related, because although the workmaship is lovely i just dont think a plain alloy on alloy dovetail would fly in an industrial environment, also the threaded hole looks like 1/4 BSW and i think thats commonly used in camera gear, something for serious cinematography or projection?
The biggest puzzle is with the DTI in the two side holes, it doesnt register any movement no matter how furiously i wiggle things. Also it came with a bobbin type thing called on the lid of the box a "spinner" NFI what that is for.
I have uploaded a video of its actions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEmDb3wadW8
Anyone got a clue?
