I found this tool in the garage with the initials H.F.T.S. and the part number 5-Z-4814. It looks like a tie rod or ball joint fork, but know for sure that's why I'm posting here for the experts to chime in. Would like to know the era for this tool and what it's used for. Also what the H.F.T.S. stands for. I've uploaded a couple of pictures; any help in finding info will be much appreciated.

Z tools are normally Ford dealership special tools for the Model T. I can find no listing for this one and the 5Z series only goes to 5Z1498 for a T. I wonder if the HFTS would relate to the Henry Ford Trade School.
 
HFTS Henry Ford Trade School is correct, on Miller Rd. in Dearborn, Michigan.
I was in the last graduating class in 1952.

Thanks for the responses; the first 2 were very helpful. I did look on google but didn't get much help.

Thanks again,
