MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

What is it and where?

[Big Kev]

Probably the biggest water wheel ever built. The Burden wheel at the Nail Works at Troy, NY State.

[Stanley]

Correct Kev.... Now we need another object.

[Stanley]

This knife was designed in the 19th C for cutting one specific material. What was it?

[Gloria]

Horses hooves?

[Stanley]

It'd be handy for that Gloria but that isn't what it was designed for.....

[Wendyf]

That's what I thought at first Gloria, but I think it's a lino knife.

[Cathy]

Or a Leather working knife

[Steeplejerk]

Carpet

[Big Kev]

Gardening? For pruning?

[Stanley]

Well done Wendy! It's a lino knife....
Now we need a new object.

What can you tell me about this?

[Big Kev]

Does it blow sand under a train wheel to give it grip?

[Gloria]

Yes, spot on, it’s a pic from Mallard in York train museum.

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Gloria]

Bottom of a chimney?

[Stanley]

Yes Gloria, the flue box at Ellenroad to be precise.....
Now we have to find a new object.....

[Stanley]

What are we looking at?

[Stanley]

Clue, It'/s in Australia!

[PanBiker]

Is it the remains of one of your dads haunts?

[Cathy]

Some very old farm machinery

[Stanley]

I have to give it to Ian. It's the site of the old wine cellar at Eumalga near Dubbo NSW which is where my dad was born. Those rusty bits of iron are the hoops off the wine barrels. There were many broken wine bottles.
