TooTallMike 9 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Is it the cover to protect the contents of the box from the weather, insects/pests, people, sunlight or something else? Link to post Share on other sites

fv1609 32 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 You'll have to talk amongst yourselves, I'm off to a show. When you identify this thing, it is not just an ordinary thing, it is a special thing. A thing only to be used by certain people, which distinguishes it from the more normal thing. Oh I have I given too much away? Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Daymond 10 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 is it poisonous gas then, if it's around 1900, is it something like mustard gas? Removing the cover sets is off? Link to post Share on other sites
MiketheBike 12 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 sort of poisonous and used some certain people...gotta be something to do with women? Something for storing your mother-in-law in? Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Farrant 44 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Clive, Only certain people would use it? That would be Officers then. My guess is that it is for them to wash under, with two divisions so he can step into the second part when finished, which should be dry. The cover would be draped over him whilst in use to save his modesty :whistle: then covered over tray to keep clean and dry before the next use. Now tell me I am wrong! :evil: Just had a thought, perhaps the Batman stands in the other half, keeping his feet dry while he scrubs the Officers back :-D Link to post Share on other sites
fv1609 32 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Toilet? Yes well done. But it of a special construction & only to be used by certain people. Link to post Share on other sites

MiketheBike 12 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Is it for very unwell (disentry or malaria) infected people to practice their ablutions etc? Link to post Share on other sites
fv1609 32 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Is it for very unwell (disentry or malaria) infected people to practice their ablutions etc? Good idea but nope. How can I put it, the design of this type of latrine has a fundamentally significant difference from a standard latrine. Link to post Share on other sites
MiketheBike 12 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 two more guesses: 1. when royalty visit the field. 2. Stool/urine samples taken during some field tests (very pleasant) seperate box for each. Link to post Share on other sites

Stool/urine samples taken during some field tests (very pleasant) seperate box for each. 1. I think royalty would demand something rather special particularly considering the proximity of an identical facility. 2. Not used for taking samples for tests. Link to post Share on other sites

No significance in there being two side by side. There would be a number of these installations in a row. The diagram is just to show one ready for immediate use, the other is to show how it should be covered after use. Link to post Share on other sites
