SPENCER METAL GROUP AT MELKSHAM ... a pattern for a casting, maybe ?

i rescued this object from a tip next to a junk shop in the old melksham market, probably in the late seventies ... it looks like a pattern for the foundry to cast ... my best guess, after forty-something years of ownership, is that it might have been for a rotary spreader above a circular sieve ...


































it is a wonderful piece of woodworking precision and i'm guessing it might have regularized the flow of something like wheat or barley ... i would dearly love to know !
