Looks like a glass cutter for something cylindrical.
Near enough Kev. Usually in laboratories and for cutting glass tubing.
Next object?

What are they?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 20 Jan 2025, 04:26
I thought they were tachographs at first but they are not.

I've got to give it to you Margaret. They are the charts for a Servis Recorder which was the first 'spy in the cab', the precursor of the modern tachograph.....
Now we need another object!

I think the paper discs might fit into it
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

I was coming to the same conclusion, the recorder for the discs?

As above, a Servis recorder.

Barrel making?

Sorry Gloria but that dratted Kev has got it in one, a cooper would use this tool for tightening the hoops on barrels.

Some sort of Piston
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

I can see why you said that Cathy but look again, it's a hand tool.....
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Is it an impact driver?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Apart from its non slip properties, what was the main purpose of carpet on the engine house floor?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 27 Jan 2025, 06:26
If someone walked on the tiles wearing clogs you'd think the engine had a malfunction 
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 27 Jan 2025, 06:39
You're right Tom and that was a useful function of the carpets but there was another more important function. Clue, if not alleviated it could actually damage the engine in the long run.....
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 27 Jan 2025, 08:25
Is it something to do with clogs causing sparks, or chipping?
