Apprentice Engineer Test Piece

When I was 16-17 I started an apprenticeship in the civilian workshops of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.(REME)
After learning about hand tools and how to use them we had various test pieces to make.
This was one of them. It looks rather tatty because it has been wrapped in wax cloth for 41 years.
If this sounds familiar I showed another piece last year.

Pat is telling me about which tool or mechanism was used to make all those various holes and guages. He's getting rather animated about it, too - he has a similar test piece in our garage. He made all sorts of stuff! Love the shot, Chris - Pat likes it, too!
