"A rule or familiar object for scale would help, if you can supply - of at least give us the basic measurements."

Hi The large casting basic dimensions are 3" in all directions, large boss 1" diameter with 7/8" gap one is 7/8" long the other1"1/4. The gap is 1"5/8 between the lugs.

The small casting is 5/8" diameter 2" long with 4 off 3/8" bosses.

My friend was a keen clock man but also made many tools for the Myford ML7 lathe.

Thank you all again for any further help

Andy

Hi All

I would be very grateful for someone could help identify the castings in the photos. I have been clearing a friends workshop and came across these casting in a box and would really like to know what they are for.

I thank all in advance for taking a look

Hi Philip

I bought some 8mm chain and sprockets off ebay. So cheap less than £10 for two sprockets and a meter of chain, to do the same job. I am also going to fit a clutch. (not sure when?) But i think i am going to extend the crank shaft to accept the clutch.

Hi All

I am new to this forum but have been modelling for many years and have put together my own web site, on some of the projects I am currently working on, which include a 5" Sweetpea. 1" Minnie traction engine, 3" Foden steam wagon and a 2" Clayton plus other things. I hope it will be of interest and a help to other model engineers. The link is www.modelengineeringworkshop.co.uk

I hope you find it of interest and useful.
