I've got to give it to you Margaret. They are the charts for a Servis Recorder which was the first 'spy in the cab', the precursor of the modern tachograph.....
Now we need another object!

Sorry Gloria but that dratted Kev has got it in one, a cooper would use this tool for tightening the hoops on barrels.

You're right Tom and that was a useful function of the carpets but there was another more important function. Clue, if not alleviated it could actually damage the engine in the long run.....
