MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

I like the spaghetti measure and funnily enough that's probably closest to the actual use. However, not there yet. Think lathe.......

[Gloria]

A multi-sized ring gauge???

[Stanley]

Again you are so close Glo that I'm going to give it to you. It's a multi-size steady for use when turning a piece of pipe, different holes for different OD.
Here's an easy one to keep you going....

[Cathy]

It's one of those toggle things that you put into the wall when hanging heavy pictures or mirrors.

...in a hollow wall, are the proper names stud walls and anchor bolts?

[David Whipp]

Agree with Cathy; fixing used with walls dry-lined with plasterboard. Have used them for heavier items than pictures!

(Glad to see an easier one for a change...)

[TheProf]

We always called them 'Brolly Bolts, because of the way they open up. If you are fixing a lot, you can get a sort of gun tool to expand them.

[Stanley]

Told you it was easy..... dead right all of you.

[David Whipp]

Air vent?

[PanBiker]

Steam Whistle?

[Stanley]

Nowhere near I'm afraid. You've all used them at some time or another.

[Pluggy]

Pressure cooker safety valve/weight.

[PanBiker]

Type of cut off valve from the water inlet on a toilet cistern?

[plaques]

Gas boiler pilot light unit.

[Stanley]

Sorry but no. I shall put you out of your misery, it's a regulator valve for a small gas cylinder. The larger ones used by plumbers for their blow lamps.

[Pluggy]

Flashback arrestor for an acetylene cylinder.

[Stanley]

You clever little bugger! All right, shove a new object up for us.....

[Pluggy]

I've done some gas-axing in my time Stanley

Painfully easy, for those with the right mindset, Panbiker keep out.....

[Tripps]

I've never seen one, and this is a guess, but could it be a Rasberry Pi?

I read somewhere that there is/will be, a Mark 2 version due with a few more features, and a case?

[Pluggy]

Got it in one. The Raspberry Pi Foundation have consistently said there are no plans for a Mk 2. There are dozens of after market cases available. .

[plaques]

Something old..

[Stanley]

Tool for threading the ends of cycle spokes?

[plaques]

Stanley's got it. Motorcycles have generally moved away from spokes. The old machines had either straight or butted spokes with 36 or 40 per wheel. Unfortunately, the trend towards continental metric means that old cycle thread spokes are becoming hard to get.
Next object please.
