Besides the use for taxation it was widely used as a quick reference, think Austin 7, Ford 8 Vauxhall 10 and 14. The General Motors 28hp design was 214 Cubic Inch and produced about 106hp. As this was at a lower speed than your engine and a larger capacity it was much higher torque.

Evidently not! Thanks for the explanation. A quick calculation makes the tractor unit just over three times the displacement of my 1100cc V4. No contest on power to weight ratio even though the Pan did weigh quite a bit, (Dry Weight. 297 kg / 654.8 lbs). It had lots of torque via the shaft drive though, (maximum torque of 109.00 Nm (11.1 kgf-m or 80.4 ft. lbs) @ 6000 RPM. Never had to take it to that, at 5,000 rpm, two up and fully loaded panniers and top box it would be cruising at 110mph. Engine red line started at 8,000 that would be just shy of 140mph.

Cant really compare a wagon tractor unit to a motorbike though, although I know which one would win in a speed race. It would be a miserable fail in a tug of war though.

Yes correct. Normally hidden away out of view.
. 12 watt cob type lamp. I'm not sure whether the vented metal base imparts any extra cooling to the lamp circuitry but its part of the hype.
For those interested in pulling LED bulbs apart this chap is very interesting, (Bigdavedotcom)

I was lost until Kev triggered me.
Let's try an oldie.... What can you tell me about this?

Is the 1st label for the French Market reading the ingredients

But why both Tom, there's a bit more to it than that.

Jersey or Guernsey

Right lines, wrong country!

Is it Canada ?

Near enough Tom. This is an example of how the dual language laws affected advertising and labelling in Montreal. (Quebec)
Next one?

Too easy I suspect but what is it?

No takers?

It looks like it must be a crafting tool for braiding or weaving narrow bands.

You're almost there Wendy, made for a very specific repair. We have discussed this before.....

Darning loom,very posh my grandmother used a mushroom.

You must be able to use it for darning, but what do you do with the ends when the hole is mended? (mended is that correct grammar? )

Yes Wendy, mended will do and yes it's a modern version of the 'Speedweve', see this LINK .....
Next one?

What is it?

Is it an aid for medicating cows?

I can see why you thought that Ian but sorry, no.

For sampling whisky from barrels?

Sorry Kev I missed your answer yesterday. Spot on.
Next object?

What is it?

Not sure……. Internal diameter micrometers?

Got it first time Gloria, well done. I admit I'm scraping the barrel!
I shall try to think of another....

What is it?
