You're so close!

That’s all I’ve got

I remembered seeing a group picture of men who were all wearing this tool so I've searched the site and have found it, though it took a bit of effort!
It is a warp twisters tool.

Yes Wendy, well remembered. The photo was supposed to have been done by William Bracewell and they were twisters at Butts.
Now we need another object.
