To save me another few hours of fruitless Googling, does anybody know of a UK supplier of these

I'v got one, it's circular, and was made "in house" by, and for the New Zealand Railways.

KWIL:

Starrett part no 284 certainly, but the picture is presumably of a copy which may not have been "hardened, ground and carefully tested".

Yes got a shed load of them,

I'll post later with a picture once I have found them out of Gerts box of goodies.

We also used to and will be selling trapeziodal gauges to the same pattern.

In the end I bought one from ebay from someone in Illinois ( I live in Cambridge UK) – it only took a week to arrive and seems fine. Certainly better than my lathe tool grinding skills!
