That's a "Bead Gauge" to measure the diameter of the barrel where the tire will sit. We have about a 3mm tolerance to maintain. Too big and the tire will not go on. Too small and the tire will spin or not hold air. Since we manufacture our modular rim halves in house, we check every barrel we make. Notice it says "TRA" this is for "Tire & Rim Association".
