the socket set version of adjustable spanner - very useful with partially nadgered nuts or hand-made stuff, especially the latter.

Fascinating.

Now I have to work out what it is / does, as it certainly wasn't an ornament originally !

Something in a mill, I suspect ...

Not so much courses as individual blocks, methinks.
.
Just remembered I think I've seen something similar in sea defences and some land monuments, but sealed with lead ...

They look a bit like the feet you put under large plant pots to improve drainage / air flow ...

Apologies for disappearing. Best friend's mother died at 0415 on Friday morning and I've been haring about the landscape ever since. Things have settled down enough that I can get on the laptop ... Answer, Fossilised paint layers ... specifically from the paint shop on a narrow gauge railway. Open F...

Sorry, no metal and not a fossil (seed or brussel sprout)

Would you like a clue ?

Sorry, Maz and Stanley - not a gallstone

OK

How about this (ignore the title, it isn't a real clue)


O&S - geode 1 of 3 par StoneRoad2013, on Ipernity

For scale, I think it was about one by two inches across before being sliced up.

Mainly intended as a ship mounted defence against boarders. Christians got the round bullets, Muslim Turks the square shot (more damaging wounds and intended to persuade the Turks of the *benefits of Christianity). Could also fire a form of canister round - a container with 15/20 musket/pistol balls...

Aircraft "drop" tanks for extending operational range

On some of the links on railway sites there were mentions at earby of branch to munitions site. Would that have been standard gauge and ww2? Some were standard gauge, others were not ... From my own memory banks (I'm not that old, this is from visits and restoration work I've been involved with) Th...

It looks like the areas of "squares" are connected by trackways - possibly a narrow gauge railway ?
So, bomb stores ? or maybe ordinary ammunitions

Date clue makes me think of shells, but the castings etc look more like parts for field guns (artillery pieces).

I know Boston Lodge (The Ffestiniog Railway's workshops) were used for producing shell casings and my memory of those images doesn't quite match the mystery picture.

Nice lot of overhead belt driven machinery there. Including a large lathe. Toolmaker / foreman's glazed office (store).

Apart from the two large gear / flywheels - there are what look like either large oil pots or maybe small pumps on the main bench.

Looks like a stationary engine erecting shop !

Any one been getting the b1tc0in stuff lately ?

I was getting a really significant number of them, but since the recent crash in value, this seems to have tailed off.

Like anything similar, straight into the spam and sender blocked.

"Atlantic Clipper" from the fin number, so not one of the ones that flew to Casablanca Conference or had any specific celebrity status. I suspect the pilots, even when under military "ownsership" in WW2 would have remained as PamAm staff. (Churchill & Beaverbrook flew in a BO...

As for registering on-line with the real TPS - I've done a few for various elderly persons now. . Had the Microsoft virus one yesterday (first for months) and managed almost ten minutes before he twigged. I was using my lap top at the time so he would have heard me "typing" and muttering !...

*bump* First point - I am registered with the TPS, and have been for years. which seems toothless as it can do nowt about the overseas call centres, or even some of the home-grown pests. Secondly, the call centres seem to work in waves, both overseas and home-grown versions. It has got to the point ...

I assume the liveries were painted on each side of the same aircraft. Well done ! That is what I should have thought about - especially as I've suggested similar for various restorations. (mainly railway carriages, with long histories including a change of owner ... one side and end in each, as wit...

Playing together at the Paris Air Show 1970 (the same year they got past Mach 2)

or
the simultaneous landing at Dulles 24th May 1976 to celebrate start of scheduled services to USA

Are they the first two Concordes to break the sound barrier - or maybe do Mach 2 ?

They look familiar to me, as well.
But I can't place the context, time to exercise the little grey cells !

Is that Ebony ?

Ipernity is a fairly small site, to be honest, mainly for amateur, hobby and family photographers. The website will be going to https shortly, although sign in and payment are there already. If you just want lots of views (real or otherwise) fl***r and faceb00k seem to be the place and professionals...

might also be polishing / jeweller's wax / rouge, although my first impression (sorry) was sealing wax.
