I've been educating myself on the internet. A Warren Truss bridge. Funnily enough I see this design every day because the horizontal load-bearing arm on tower cranes utilise the same construction for high strength to weight ratio, and there are many tower cranes here. You learn something new every day!

You've got it right China. Now you know you'll see the design principle used in all sorts of things because weight for weight it can carry the most load.

Is it for adhesive grout preparation when tiling?

Adjustable as well.

Sorry Ian, but no.

It's a starting gate for worm racing!

Something to do with separating lengths of cotton or wool.
Would love to see a worm race

Is it for combing something?

Fellmonger tool ? Don't know why I'm saying this.

Is it food related?

Ah.... It sounds as though Kev is getting warm. Take that one forward a bit Kev, you're getting very warm.
