Somebody has asked me to do something for them but this is the image, anybody know what sort of tool / gauge it is so I can try and find one to draw for them?

Looks like a micrometer to me.

EDIT: Bugsy beat me to it

Amazing, thanks

Of course it looks like a micrometer, but it's really a very fine adjustable spanner.

Or you can use it as a g-clamp

Good to know that some engineering is still going on in the midlands.

A mate of mine had to give up his precision grinding company because his prices were constantly being undercut by the South Koreans.

It's a 0-1 inch or 0-25mm micrometer vernier caliper. I have several (Starret, Mitutoyo, Moore & Wright) if you need a photo.

A vernier does the same job but a different piece of kit entirely.

I was merely using the full title of the tool (unless Moore and Wright got it wrong when I did my apprenticeship 50-odd years ago).
Both tools utilize the (Pierre) Vernier scale to perform the same job in two slightly different ways - the Vernier caliper by means of a slide scale, and the Vernier Micrometer Caliper (mic, mike) by a rotary scale acting on a fixed main scale.
