It is Gloria but a very specialised one. Note that it is sitting on an angle. Why is this? You have seen it before.

It's a ruler for marking keyways on shafts. The clever thing about it is that because of the right angled cross section it automatically sits dead parallel on the shaft every time.
Now we need another object!
