A great tooth caliper.

I'll read that as Gear tooth caliper Kev and yes you're right. We need another object now....

Auto correct, on my phone, did that...

What is it?

I don't know but the upright part of the symbol is a perfect cross section through the steel rail used in British railway track.

Looks like it could be representative of a monorail or maybe a maglev bullet train?

Chinese railways?

Quite right Kev..... Now we need another object.....

How about this one, can you tell me what it is?

No takers? Associated with the previous object..... Doesn't Google give any clues? I'll leave it until dinnertime.

I forgot...... I'll give it until dinnertime again.

The badge was the emblem of the Datong Locomotive works when it was given to me in I think 1989 by the CEO of the company when he visited Rochdale as part of the towns twinning and came to see the Ellenroad Engine. They were still making steam engines then but now have moved over entirely to electric locomotives..... I think they have a different name and logo now.
Next object?

It didn't come up on a Google image search.

Where and when? And what exactly is going on?

Is it to do with a strike?

Yes Gloria.

Yarrow March in 1936?

More looms strike in the 1930s?

Wendy has it right. 1932 actually. Now tell me where....

I think it should be Kelbrook, but I don't recognise it from the photograph.

Your exactly right Wendy. The picture was labelled as Kelbrook in the newspaper report but was actually at Sough and the action by police was centred on Sough Bridge Mill.
Can anyone come up with the next object?

Can you tell me whose Xmas Card this was?

No takers? If there is no response by dinnertime I'll knock it on the head.....

It was Gawthorpe Hall on the first Xmas after the barn was opened to the public.....
