It is a tailstock usually used with a dividing head. I made a miniature dividing head with matching tailstock, here is a pic of it used to drill tennon holes in the hubb of a 1/4 scale cannon. This illustrates how it is used.Hope this helps................
I see that you have a hammer, water pump pliers, and wd-40, so whatever it is, you don't need it, you have everything.wish I could help.

that tailstock gave me horrible flashbacks of the math involved in gear making

MUCH easier today with CAD and some gear profile generating code.I once corresponded with a fellow in China who was a whiz at it - had a dozen international patents and designed gears of various shapes (a cheap way of producing a varying speed on a shaft). Square and oval gears too. AND I did a patent drawing for a VT student that was a variable pitch gear pair. He got the patent and a job.
Its not a center. It is a workpiece positioning tool for a mill. Something like this but much more robust.http://www.edgetechnologyproducts.com/pro-mill-stop.html
Well, perhaps. But I had a few of them myself that came with a shop I worked at as a kid then bought when the owner retired. He bought them brand new from Cushman for a Shizuoka mill along with a barfeeder.That mill made drilled copper buss bars for almost 35 years until I sold it 2 years ago when I retired. They were used as the bar feed stops.Im not a lathe guy. Mainly milling for tooling and prototyping. Been doing it for more than 40 years. .

Compliment for sure. Sarcasm, no! Envy yes!!
It's pretty much functionally identical to the tailstock for my rotary table.http://www.use-enco.com/1/1/34037-240-005-phase-ii-tail-stock-6-rotary-table.html
