Daswulf Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Either a tool or gauge? Given to me by a non-black smithing friend who found it at a fleamarket. The name looks like Penberthy. Opposite side or marked 1, 3/4, 1/2. It is 2" long and actual measurements of the sizes are 11/16", 1/2", 3/8". "Looks" like it is cast iron.

Charles R. Stevens Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Inside/outside sliding caliper. You will note that their is a place to read the inside and outside (marked "out") of objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhutton Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Maybe a go / no go gauge for a pattern maker or foundry man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Pennberthy made steam injectors - google that. Might be a part of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill try there Farmall. I had no luck with Penberthy gauge or similar searches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhutton Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I just ran across this info. This is the tool to install the "tail pipe" (so called) of a Penberthy Injector. Actually there are three tail pipes used on the injector: one for the steam, one for the water, and one for the combined boiler feed. Injectors come in graduated sizes hence the graduated squares. http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/antique-machinery-and-history/help-identify-device-marked-penberthy-172972/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
