Gauge info

So, I have a basic understanding of measuring instruments,but I recently acquired a lathe that came with a couple of puzzlers. Posting pics seems like a pain, so I will try a verbal description first. One is a selection of hemispheres of different diameters, hollow with a holed pedestal. the other is a couple of handle mounted arc shaped plates, if I may call them that. Thanks

OK - you gotta understand that if these things are at all unusual, a written description is useless. If we are to provide anything meaningful, you have to overcome the pain.

Tooling to make balls and rounded grooves? Pictures definitely. Just hit upload a file and pick your picture. Works fine on phones too.

Maybe you have to post a couple times first due to some spam prevention.
 
Let's see if this works. I got a complete set of micrometers and deflection gauges with the machine, so I can only assume that's what they are for.

are all the spheres hollow? If so, I've never seen the like. If they are solid they could be screwyballs.
 
These look like they are from a Starrett #59F (or knock-off) trammel set.
