It was used on the railways, as your right track comment hinted?

Yes it was Richard and I'm glad you came back with it.

It's a chronometer, apparently the glass magnification made it possible to view from different angles

Thanks Leelai.

I was busy Googling images of Watches for railway staff. There are some interesting timepieces out there.

OK, I'm scrabbling around my photo library to post the next challenge.

However,I will be out of circulation for a few hours, so I throw the challenge open to all.

Cheers

OK, I'm out for no more than 90 minutes.

So I think it's safe to post.

What is this part of?

To whom or what does it belong?

It looks like a locomotive driving wheel.

Yes, it is representative of a wheel, but not from a locomotive. It's from something smaller.

[Richard Brown]

it looks like a cannon.

Yes, it is. You are going in the right direction.

What is the cannon a part of? Answer that, and you should be able to answer the second question.

Looks like a flywheel.

No, not a flywheel. It's a canon wheel, as guessed by Poison Ivy
