Is it a cast iron pattern for making the ratchet wheel used in the Wilby regulator on a Lumb steam engine governor?

No Gloria but that level of importance. Have you worked out where the building is?

Culzean Castle, Eisenhower's SHAEF Headquarters during WWII.

Lost a tent on the Camping Club site there a long time ago.

Well done Gloria! Exactly right.

Yes Kev! It most certainly is.
Now we need the next object......
