I bought this mandrel today when making a visit to Turners Retreat, but what screws on to it?

Jim, looks like you could use it as a bottle stopper mandrel but still no help with the original Q Frankie

Perhaps it can be used as a 'carrier' for other items? small chucks,faceplates or could be adapted as a collet style chuck
I believe you are correct with the collect chuck suggestion I have the adapter for it in my kit at home it looks identical from memory.
