Do the twists follow through or do they go in opposite directions?
Is it some sort of adapter? If the small end fitted into summat, using the nut in the middle to screw it in to the summat, you'd end up with a bigger, open end - or, in reverse. you'd have a smaller end piece and it would be a reducer.
I know what I mean even if 99.99999999999999% of the rest of the world haven't a clue.

MrB think's its some sort of drive coupling that seized and twisted it.

Or maybe a spiral bevel gear, he's just said (he's been googling all evening, liking an engineering conundrum).Likewise PP! Just it bugs the excrement out of me when I can't find anything similar.I understand the principle of a crown wheel, pinion and planet gears but can't figure how this would equate?
Where's Fred Dibner when you need him?
I'm glad someone understands
And as for Fred Dibner, felling chimneys in the sky!!
