Sheepdog whistle? For the shepherd not for the dog!

Dead right. It's a sheherd's whistle. I always have one in my pocket and remember once being in London and using it to attract the attention of a cabby. The locals were impressed!
Next one anyone?

Can you tell me what's different about this well made brass door bolt?

Is it for fixing vertically at the bottom of a door? You can use your foot on the bit that juts out.

First part yes China but the extra bits aren't for foot operation. There is another reason......

Does the extra bit that juts out activate a secondary locking mechanism or a "occupied-vacant" sign ??

Tom, you are getting very close with the first suggestion but you're not there yet.

The sticking out bit has to be pressed down to deactivate the locking system?

It's for double doors and the extra bit is to keep the second door shut. I notice the casing has at least one recess that could keep the bolt in the raised position until it's freed by pressing inwards.

Spot on Tiz! I have its matching bolt on my back door. That has the detent you noted as well and a spring on the back but not the extra lug. Very well made architectural door furniture,
Next one?

No, though I can see why you suggest it, Cathy. Keep on trying!

Blocks of material with waste carbon fibre or plastic waste in them a bit like Schwarzite carbon blocks.

Structure of wood?

Another thought: anything to do with graphene, especially fluorinated graphene structures?
Brane Theory. Schwarzite carbon. Graphene. We do get about don't we when the answer will probably be something simple like Gouda cheese structure!

None of the above are correct but...

That, and Cathy's honeycomb, are close to the first part of the solution. For now, keep thinking about foodstuffs...

In that case, how about suggestions for the structure of a cereal component such as Weetabix.....
