My day is complete.

Wild guess = The product of the Sagger makers' bottom knockers

"A saggar (also misspelled as sagger or segger) is a type of kiln furniture".


Saggar

Sorry Ian, no.
I thought that might hit the spot David! Quite right, saggars in the bottle kiln at Gladstone Pottery in Longton, S O T.
Next one anyone?

Where is it?

Grand Central Station, New York?

Sorry Kev but no.....

Immigration Hall, Ellis Island, New York?

I’m with Kev.

So am I

As so you should be, it's the main Hall at Ellis Island. Well done, now for the next object......

No great rush to put another object up. Perhaps I'd better have a stab at it.



What is it?

As one who was heavily involved in re-deploying the Lancashire Textile Project on here 10 years ago! I will give a clue, it's one of the 850 images embedded there.

Oh yeah! So it is

So you'll know exactly what it is?

Yes but not telling or spoiling it for the others.

Me neither

In that case we are stuck until someone deigns to give an answer......

Haven’t got a clue.

I've been trying to think of the name of a piece of equipment which was used at Lothersdale Mill and it has finally popped into my head this morning. Not sure if this is a similar thing but is it an economiser?

I agree with Wendy and The Lancashire Textile Project

This may seem a bit random but a few of my jokes, that need a bit of thinking about, aren't understood. I've put this one here as a Mystery Object to see if the connection can be made.

That was well remembered Wendy. It's an economiser made by Greens of Wakefield and is a nest of tubes installed in the flow of hot flue gases from the boiler to the chimney through which feed water for the boiler was passed, raising its temperature and making the boiler more efficient.

It's the A team Kev

It is indeed, regular Saturday evening viewing for some of us. They were all lousy shots though

Was that the bloke with all the bullion hung round his neck?

Mr T was the actor, the character was BA Barracus.
