MYSTERY OBJECTS

[chinatyke]

I've heard them called Suzis or Susies but I don't know why.

[Stanley]

Bugger! You're right. That means I have to scratch my head yet again! (That was 300 objects this year!)

[chinatyke]

I've heard them called Suzis or Susies but I don't know why.

Searched on Google and found this:



There is some reference on Google to being named SUSIE from SUSpended Insulated Electrical Connector. Perhaps that is why TTC adopted the name and registered SUSIE as a trade mark.

300 objects Stanley, shows how popular this thread is.
Or what a clever bunch we are

[Cathy]

And how industrious Stanley has been in his life and still is

[Stanley]

Objects simply seem to stick to me Cathy..... Try this one....

[Gloria]

Nothing there Stanley, except a small red cross in a box and the word "image".

[PanBiker]

The image registers as 0 bytes with dimensions of 0 x 0. No wonder you can't see it Glo! Must have been trashed on the upload.

[Stanley]

Sorry kids, it's there now.....

[Gloria]

Not much of an idea, but, is it for levelling something, or, is it for mixing something ie hot/cold water???

[PanBiker]

Azimuth and Elevation controls from a field gun. Maybe the type Stanley used during his National Service.

[plaques]

Made 1926.

[Stanley]

Ian's right, the back end of a 17pdr Anti-tank gun at Gatow in Berlin. Barrel no 20327!

The current puzzle.... Looks very similar to a clamp I've seen for tightening webbing.

[plaques]

Made in 1926. I'm beginning to think you Barlickers have lead very sheltered lives.
This is a give away clue.

But what kind?

[Stanley]

Got it but I'll let someone else have the honour.....

[PanBiker]

It's a wire stripping tool but no idea of the manufacturer. Lets stab at it being used by the post office telephone blokes or something>

[plaques]

Good answer. Its a "Wanda" stripper. Made in Birmingham 1926. The cutting blade is a straight guillotine action which may have been good enough for stripping the old rubber insulation but not much use on modern material.

[Stanley]

[LizG]

Are they crimpers? (things for squashing connectors onto wire?)

[PanBiker]

Combination wire cutter and stripper

[Stanley]

Ian, it has a wire cutter and stripper in it but Liz is right, it's the tool that came with this Rpault's connector kit.



Try this one...

[Stanley]

Is that one puzzling you? Do you need a clue?

[Gloria]

I'm stumped. Is significant that the two pieces can be separated?

[StoneRoad]

It looks a bit like a scribing tool

[Stanley]

It is Glo but not sure if that will help you. Think of locating something in a fixed position.....
