MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

I can't see this getting too many takers. Any ideas?

[Cathy]

Sorry can’t help. I’m next Stanley

[Stanley]

I'll not leave it up long Cathy......

[Stanley]

It's one of the air pumps at Ellenroad whilst I was unsuccessfully trying to lift the delivery plate to get at the rubber valves on the air pump bucket underneath. Sorry, that was far to obscure!
Try this one, it's an oldie.



What are we looking at?

[PanBiker]

Court room at Nuremberg?

[Tripps]

Wrong type of clothing - too casual?

Perhaps an auction, or a registry office wedding when the bride's side didn't turn up.

PS just noticed the cross -so some kind of church service?

[PanBiker]

Not in session, as a historical visitor site.

[Big Kev]

Court room at Nuremberg?

I reckon so too.

[Tripps]

I surrender. . . .

[plaques]

Not Sure.

Ian is right, it's my Carleton Collage students in 2000. the guide picked up that I had guarded the prisoners in Spandau Gaol and said that as far as he knew it was the first time anyone had been there who had done that service.....
Now we need another one....



What are we looking at?

[Gloria]

A paddle boat on a river in United States?

[Stanley]

No Gloria, it's closer to home in Europe. Think Wagner!

[Gloria]

Is it on the Rhine?

[Stanley]

Yes Gloria..... I was on that steamer with my Carleton College students..... Now then, have a crack at where......

[Gloria]

Lorelei?

[Stanley]

Spot on Gloria, the Lorelei Rock in the Rhine Valley.....
Next one?

I can remember having milk at Rainhall Road School, and waiting for it to defrost on the radiators ( obviously not these ones).
These milk tops are a Mystery to me.
What about you?

Silver – full-fat milk;
Red – semi-skimmed;
Blue – skimmed;
Gold – Jersey & Guernsey milk
I think the one with the metal cap (top right) was sterilised, no idea on the blue and silver stripe. Stanley may be best placed for this as he did a bit of 'dairy'

[Stanley]

I could be a weak reed here..... Channel Island at W Marton was green top and blue was cream. At one time gold was homogenised milk and before that Tuberculin Tested.....

[Cathy]

Thanks guys. Next

[Stanley]

Try an easy one.....



What is it?

[Gloria]

A light bulb?

[Tizer]

A methylated spirits burner?
Or a bit of old teaching apparatus for demonstrating a vacuum? Boil a little water in the flask then upturn it and put the end of the tube in water and you get a fountain inside the flask as the steam inside condenses and causes a vacuum.

[Stanley]

Sorry, no to both. It's got a very mundane purpose in the mill.
