MYSTERY OBJECTS

[plaques]

Just a short car journey from Barlick. Where is it.

[David Whipp]

Is it the old church near the Prestige factory in Burnley?

[Wendyf]

I think it's Colne Cemetery. The spire stands out very clearly as I drive down the hill towards Colne, it confused me for ages.

[Tizer]

The wonder of it is that there is 100ft on this spool, never seen a cow 100ft long......

I suppose you'd have to skin the cow in a spiral cut to the width of belt required. What's the circumference and length of a cow? Divide the cow length by the belt width then multiply by the circumference and, bingo, you'll have the length of belt!

[plaques]

Wendy is right. Colne cemetery chapel. A very interesting building providing you're not going there as a customer. Lots of ornamental features and carvings.

[Stanley]

Tiz, I once enquired and that is exactly how they did it. Try this one.....

[David Whipp]

A connector of some sort?

[Gloria]

A spacer???? of some description.

[Stanley]

David is right but connecting what? Clue. Even though small it's solid aluminium.

[plaques]

Looks like something that flew out of you're ball point pen, which you then lost, but by the time you found it you had thrown the pen away.

[PanBiker]

A crimp ferule for joining stranded wire cables?

[Stanley]

Try a clue. This is what it joins....

[David Whipp]

Following a theme; drive belt?

[PanBiker]

Oil hose?

[chinatyke]

Following a theme; drive belt?

Following David: emergency/temporary fan belt?

[Stanley]

David is right. The orange jobby is the modern replacement for round leather driving belt for overhead gears and other light drives. It is tubular and the connector is simply pushed into each end when it is installed. Try this one.....

[David Whipp]

Specialist items requiring Gloria's attention...

[Gloria]

I'll pass on that one David

[Wendyf]

My old sewing machine comes to mind again..

[Pluggy]

Looks like something for one of his steam engines.........

[PanBiker]

I thought that at well Stephen. Some kind of con rod arrangement on the marine engines?

[Stanley]

You're near enough. They are small components left over when Johnny Pickles made his wonderful model of a mill engine.



Try this one....

[Big Kev]

Try this one....

Is it a clock?

[Tripps]

I know what (and who) it is. It's easy if you've bought the book, and turn to page sixty nine.

[Stanley]

Yes Kev, it's a turret clock, but which one? (Well done David!)
