fv1609 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 As we don't seem to get Dad's Army in Wales on Saturday night, I got bored so here is a mystery object that caught my eye. This is very much a diagram & is not terribly accurate but this is how it appears in the manual, minus of course the labels. The diagram is only a partial view of a larger thing. But the particular relevance is the presence of items A-D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Is it a countersunk screw holding some mystery parts together Clive ? Good to see you Andy. It does look like that I must admit, but this is a much bigger thing. In fact it is one of those things that once the penny has clicked it will be very very obvious, although it may not necessarily help with items A-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Hmmm . Am I spending a penny ? Thought it could possibly be a plan for tented lavatories in relation to rest of the camp ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Am I spending a penny ? I dread to think what people do when they are online :undecided: Thought it could possibly be a plan for tented lavatories in relation to rest of the camp ?Oh no, no, this is quite wholesome although probably more dangerous.

AndyFowler Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'm now thinking possibly part of a Home Guard explosive detonator . Clutching at any clue here Clive :D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'm now thinking possibly part of a Home Guard explosive detonator . Clutching at any clue here Clive :D:D:D Nope, it's bigger than both of us Andy & comes from a 1971 publication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'm now seeing the overhead shape of a Humber Pig wheel arch and position of foam generating equipment in relation to it ! Must be an obsession :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'm now seeing the overhead shape of a Humber Pig wheel arch and position of foam generating equipment in relation to it ! Must be an obsession :D I think you are getting into the realms of fantasy here Andy. No foam, no Pig but one answer you gave earlier had a verb which is a noun of a different meaning that is one item in the drawing. The overall drawing is something that I think most people would have seen many times. Like those dotty pictures of dinosaurs etc when you stare at it then it becomes obvious what it is, or at least part of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Could be a kind of cone clutch, maybe with elect-magnetic activation type whatchamacallits involved.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Is it the back of a shooting range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Could be a kind of cone clutch, Very good Bernard if you picked up on my clue of a noun from a verb that Andy used as in "clutching" maybe with elect-magnetic activation type whatchamacallits involved.. Nope, far too complicated Bernard, the layout of this thing is very common & it is bigger than the two of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Is it a mobile bath unit or mobile laundry? Last guess for tonight Clive, got to be up 6.30am to go to a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things (but without A-D) are fairly common & some were made in Australia, not just UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
