How about this one?

God knows, it reminds me of the old TV test transmission. Something like that?

I'll give you a clue. Calibration.

Is it something to do with printing

IS IT for calibrating the definition of digital lenses?

That'll do it. It's for calibrating auto focus lenses. You focus on the QR code and take a pic. You can then check, against the number scale, if the lens is focusing in the correct place and adjust if necessary. All of my lenses needed a 'tweak' to get them spot on.

Wouldn’t have got that in a month of Sundays……..good one.

Can you tell me exactly what we are looking at?

Looks like a piece of a safe.

A tool box lid. A Jonny Pickles bespoke box. Moore & Wright had fewer drawers.

Not a safe Ian.
Ken, sorry no but there is a Johnny Pickles connection.....

A mould for something

Was it to frame a photo of Johnny Pickles?

Looks like a panel out of a door.

You're on the right lines Gloria. think closure rather than door. You've met it before in shed matters.

An access hatch cover from a boiler?

You'#re getting close. It's a lid..... but what for? Clue. made in Barlick by Johnny at Henry Brown and Son,

The Riley St Chapel clock?

No sorry. Clue..... When Johnny was foreman at Henry Brown and Sons he designed and they made donkey engines at the Havre Park foundry. This was a survivor and Newton used it as a surface plate until I gave him a proper one, he gave this to me. But what is it?

The base the boiler sat on?

Sorry Gloria but no. Last Clue!

I'll knock it on the head today.....

Engine bed

No.... Think lids and look at that engine....
