Nice one Gloria, I couldn't relate it to it's use

What are these glass cylinders used for?

Are they part of a fire sprinkler system?

Sorry no Ian. You're right to place them in the mill. Associated with machinery of almost any kind. Think lubrication.

Arte they reservoirs for auto oiling attachments?

I am going to give it to you Ian. You are close enough. They are sight glasses that fitted in the base of a drip feed lubricator and allowed you to see how fast the drops of oil were falling from the reservoir.
Set the next one?

What is it?

Digging a well?

Repairing a chimney?

Kev has it right, Peter and Tom in the top of Ellenroad chimney.
Next one?

What is it?

Is it from a pigeon racing clock?

No Ian. Photography related.....

Very difficult. If there has been no movement by dinner time I shall knock it on the head. (You've seen it before....... )

It was difficult. It's a supplementary close up lens for a Kodak Box Brownie camera.
Try this one....
Why are the gutter corbels on the gable end of the Cross Keys pub there?

Was the pike on the gable added later

No Tom. There is a clear reason why that gutter was there..... It's pertinent that it isn't needed now.....

Was it to feed a water tank?

You've got it Kev. Notice the slope on the corbels. The gutter was picking up the water falling on the roof at the front of the pub and instead of just dumping it in the road was taking it to a rainwater Storage tank at the back of the pub. Well done.
Now for the next one?

What is it?

No takers? I shall knock it on the head at dinner time if there is no movement. You've seen this before. It's workshop related......

Is it a bar of polish for a buffing wheel?

Morning Mick! Nice to see you and yes, you're dead right. White buffing compound for soft metals..... The brown is for hard.
Next object?

What is it?

I'll bet Kev knows
