I think I have to give it you Gloria. What I really wanted you to say was that it is a cross channel train ferry from the days when you could get on a train for say Paris and the whole train was shipped across the channel and went forward on continental lines. But what you say is quite correct.
Now I shall have to think of another object!

It looks like a telescopic aerial re-purposed, (commercially) into a pocket expanding pointing device for lecture purposes.

Tom came in with the right answer as I was typing that!
You're right Tom a powerful little magnet on the end of a telescopic rod. A very hand bit of kit. I have used t it so many times to get me out of sticky corners.
