Somw sort of filter/strainer for spills and/or engines

 

Nope

Liquids by any chance

 

It is to do with liquids

Is it electrical?

 

Nope

Fly trap ?

 

Nope

Have you got a side view please

 

No that's all there was on it.

Anyone?

1907

 

Wow! Everyone is getting far too clever. It was a 1908 RAMC Screw Tourniquet.

Used by the R.A.M.C or it's predecessors???? if so - wound compressor???

 

Yes well done Neil you are correct.

Anyone care to venture a date?

Some sort of compacting device???

 

Sort of

Nut splitter?

 

Ooh! Sounds painful, um but no.

Any ideas for this British Army equipment?

Well done Cripp! now Clive will send you his very own old one:)

Well I've got the fuel, all week I have been shovelling it up whilst my wife has been away. For instance this moring there were 4 wheel barrows of it. That is from the horses, I day say I could fill a few buckets if there was a demand, as I have been cooking for myself.

So if you want to do a spot of re-enacting at Beltring. For batallion capacity, the diameter is 5 ft & the height of the wall should be 3.5 ft.

poo burner :shake:

 

Yes it is indeed. "A battalion 1,000 strong provides 600 lb of filth a day in latrine buckets, 500 lb of this being liquid and 100 lb solid. The fluid of 50 lb of this can be absorbed by 10 lb of sawdust and the regiment therefore requires 100 lb per diem of absorbent matrix of the equivalent value of sawdust, to take up the liquid."

"In practice, dried horse litter provides the best supplementary fuel and it may be noted that 2 lb of this give enough fuel for the incineration of the faeces of one man."

Incidentally urine itself was collected & filtered away separately. The above applies to the contents of buckets comprising solid & accompanying liquid inevitably collected at the same time.

corn or hops :-o

 

Nope

Waste incineration?

 

Yes, can you be more specific?

bread :-D

 

Nope

bricks, lime or tin :?

None of those. For a battalion about 600 lb of this commodity needs to be processed each day.

Extracting Bee's wax?Or for smoking bacon!

 

Neither of those

Kiln, furnace or oven?

 

Yes well done Tim, but for what special commodity was it designed for?

The condenser what did you replace it with? ie was it a new equivalent?

People often carry around NOS condensers for emergencies. Sometimes they have up to half a dozen! When I have been given an opportunity to test these with a megger (& there is no other way to do it an ohmeter is no good) both NOS or used "but is a good one" have a deffect rate of about 75%.

If you want me to test any or your rotor arm, send me an SAE

Bear in mind a spark that you can see on a plug may not be happening when under compression when fitted in the engine.

How old is the fuel, theses days it goes grotty quickly.

Some sort of bunker?

 

Nope

if the Devon area MVT can change the Buckfastleigh event name why can't other areas?

They may have changed the name. But the Show Report says it was a "WWII Military Vehicle show".

Armoured lampshade with special adaptions which enable bees to nest in it..... :whistle:

 

Intriguing concept, but one word in your suggestion does occur in the answer!

pigeons?

 

Good idea, see what you mean but no.

Is that the right way up???

 

No it isn't, well spotted Neil. I did that to try to stop Richard guessing it in one. This is the correct way round:
