A typhoon on flight radar?

[Big Kev]

Well done Gloria, that didn't last long

[Stanley]

I wouldn't have got it!

I shall go and have a furtle....



What's this about?

[Wendyf]

I remember this road from journeys around Scotland back in the 1960s. I can't tell you where it is but there is an optical illusion which suggests that you are going up hill when you are actually going down.

Near Dunure, South Ayrshire

[Stanley]

You've both got it. Dunure threw me a bit I always knew it as Maybole but we are all on the same page.
Now we need another object!

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Gloria]

A pressure testing kit?

[Stanley]

Yes Gloria, well done. For hydraulic testing boilers.
Now we need a new object!

What can you tell me about this?

[Whyperion]

Looks like a flywheel on an electric generator possibly diesel driven. looks like it could drive some ancillary equipment using a large flat belt ?

[Gloria]

Not an electric generator, and not diesel driven.

[Stanley]

Looks like the flywheel at Queen Street Mill. Direct drive on to the lineshaft.
