China is on the right lines...

A wheel off a child's toy???? or maybe a wheel off a vacuum cleaner.
if not, how big is it????

Sorry Gloria, no.

It's just less that 1" diameter, 23mm or thereabouts.

Oh, and nowt to do with the sign of four!

A spool from a cassette tape.

Following on from Chinatyke's suggestion of a roller, I'd guess it was a roller off an inkjet or laser printer, the ones that pass the paper through.

Correction tape & spool for a lift - off daisy wheel typewriter using correctable ribbon /cassettes ?

I shouldn't really put this in before the last one is solved, but our internet connection is really poor at the moment and I may be off line tomorrow.
This is a Mystery Person...


In my Mum & Dad's back garden in Bradford, late 1940's. A football player, later to become a famous football manager.

Won't ask what that lady is doing with a partly dressed player in the back garden...

Between China and Tizer, I think you're near enough; the object is for feeding sheets of paper through a folding machine.

The lady is the wife of the football player. They lived next door to Mum & Dad when he was playing for Bradford...before my time.

Ah well, I'm not interested in football either, but I did watch the world cup match in 1966 when 3 players from the team he managed helped England to win. Manager of the England team in the 70's too?

Don Revie??

No Gloria, the right generation but much more southerly....

Walter Winterbottom. http://www.englandfootballonline.com/te ... ottom.html
His assistant later on was Jimmy Adamson (manager of Burnley) who I used to play bowls with in Scott Park Burnley.

Punch for cutting slots in leather?

Not Walter Winterbottom Plaques, it's Ron Greenwood.

David has got it.



This is a bit different. I found two very small photos in a book and scanned them at high res. It must have been a good camera because I got this image. Now then, the question is, where is it?

No idea but it's a great photo.

I think it might be Inveraray.

Interesting placement of telegraph poles!

Wendy got it in one. The Argyll Arms Hotel was originally built as accommodation for visitors to the castle.

Draw off valve for sampling?

I imagine it is something from Bancroft but why am I thinking flowing chocolate?

Its an oil feed reservoir to lubricate the flywheel crank end of a steam engine.
