Mystery adaptor for MT4 shanks

[RainbowsParticipant @rainbows]

Sorting through some stuff I have what first looked like a morse taper reducing adaptor.

Inside it has a MT4 dead centre in, when I measured the outside though it didn't match with any taper.

Large OD: 62.00mm Small OD: 56.05mm Length: 98.68mm

My maths puts that at 1.726 degrees. Only used a calliper so measurements might not be dead on.

I thought it might be an adaptor for a proprietary spindle taper but I wouldn't know what lathe it might match without trawling through the entire lathes website. Anyone here think those dimensions look familiar? No use for it myself paperweight aside so would sell it for postage and the cost of a pint or something like that.

Is it the adapter supplied with a large Colchester (Triumph 2000) a long time since I used one.

Is this old thread about Triumph/Colchester spindle any help? – **LINK**

There is something in my brain that tells me this has come up before,  but the brain won't let me know what it is .

As the Doctor said, "Don't worry, you haven't got dementia, you're just a stupid old git"
