Ahhh, that is a very good question.

Tony Griffiths ( lathes.co.uk) and I are bath unsure, but there are good 
reasons for suspecting that it may well have been made for the Admiralty, 
for use on a destroyer just pre-WW1.
It will swing 18" in the gap, but to show how solid it is, the bottom of the 
drip tray is 1" thick.
Threads shown on the chart are 1 tpi to 12 tpi (inclusive) then even threads 
up to 28 tpi.
