Got these two from a load of stuff I bought in an old Ammo box. I've cleaned up lots of the other things – just starting with a new lathe and mill. These have me stuck for a use – they are very nicely finished or were when new

They will remain a mystery whilst access is denied by Google…

Much better to post pics in an album here?

They look like Jones and Shipman morse taper test tapers.

Hi Pete

what would they use them for – obviously testing tapers🤔

but what does that mean ?

I'd guess they sold them to third parties and possibly used them themselves for testing tooling machined with a female morse taper socket, drill machine spindles, tail stock quills.

Or maybe machine rebuilders who would test a morse socket after removal of burrs with an internal grinder?

J&S internal morse taper gauges, the ring on the taper would indicate the correct dimensions when level with the front face of the taper.
