Bayer Test Bricks: 7xg/1×5-1×6

These bricks were produced by a Bayer factory in Filago (Italy) and were used to test clutch power. They were attached on a steel studded base and then grabbed by a vise and detached from the base to measure their tightening strength and its decrease after a certain amount of attach/detach cycles. Judging by the test instrument used, these bricks were made before 2000, 2002 tops.

The bricks are modern: they have cross supports, sidebars, and also inner ribs. They don’t have anything at all written inside.
