MYSTERY OBJECTS
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I've been educating myself on the internet. A Warren Truss bridge. Funnily enough I see this design every day because the horizontal load-bearing arm on tower cranes utilise the same construction for high strength to weight ratio, and there are many tower cranes here. You learn something new every day!

You've got it right China. Now you know you'll see the design principle used in all sorts of things because weight for weight it can carry the most load.
Try this one. What's going on and where?

A Warren truss bridge? (He says, after dipping into his `A Span of Bridges').

Just the place Peter. One of my favourite books.
Well done Kev, spot on. Once again I thought the swastikas would muddy the water....
Next one?

Something to do with separating lengths of cotton or wool.
