I originally posted this in the metal working newsgroup, some folks there
thought the part might be recobnized by somone here - so, it's worth a
try - any clues?

thanks:



I think this is probably quite old, but so far I have no idea what it is
(or
was part of) - there is another like it that has been sharpened to use as
a
boring bar - clearly that was not its original purpose. the one pictured
in
the drop box appears to be original - but orignal what, is the question.

here are the links to the drop box:

Anyone got any clues about this item?

The text file from the drop box is reproduced below:

Mystery Pratt & Whitney tool - the cylindrical shank is exactly .500
inches,
it says on the

shank, the following:

NO. 32
HS.-36
E-12



hey bill, send pratt and wittney an email and ask them.
