30 forum posts 3 photos	Hi All, I bought my Myford Super 7 some years ago, and it came with a number of accessories, including this object. Painted in Myford grey, it has a pointer(?) moved in an out (in a straight line) by the knurled screw, which is threaded internally and externally. See pictures. Any ideas what I have here? Thanks, Andy I

30 forum posts 3 photos	Hi, thanks for your input. I tried the device afainst my Super 7 (see pics) and there is no obvious way it can be mounted to act as a detent on the bull wheel, the most likely place it could be used for basic indexing. Furthermore, the tip is too large to engage in teh teeth of a 60-tooth gear (see pic). Any other thoughts gratefully received, Andy
