It's a start, Tom.

Is it another "feat" of engineering from Franz and Pope?

i had a feeling you would know mark....shever clit..i mean ...clever shit.i always say "par cark " as well.

BTW i have not a clue what that is.

I reckon you know what it is - but this one was manufactured by Harrison's of Manchester.

As you seem to know the answer, and I gave Sweets a prize, here is yours:

O.K. Bamber! It is now 11/03/08, 03:49h. Guam time....I have looked at this "Tool" many, many, MANY times over the last three days since you posted it. Taking into consideration my 1st. comment....possibly only you understood,....and diagnosing the mechanics of it, I have come to the conclusion that it is a "Top Fed Wire Cable Braiding Machine"
BTW....Great Game!

Nope, sorry - I think Token has a good idea what it is - see his comment below.
And Easy knows the name of the major manufacturer of this type of machine - see his above.

hehehe, yes, I know. I took the clue from Tom, and I was sure he knew what it was.

Well I suppose woollen thread is a kind of cable - close enough, have some socks.

the word cold may have some thing to do with it as it is not a automatic toenail clipper,lol. so there is something the photo is not showing...is there anything on top of the top of the thin pipe.

Oooh... you were doing all right, then went off on a tangent.
The only thing missing in the pictures is the thing the apparatus produces... which would sort of give it away, don't you think?


Oh, and the operator of course... someone has to turn the handle.

* bangs head off wall *
ok
i put something cold in the top
it goes through
gets cut and comes out different.
am i right up till now.


boy i hope i get this job on thursday.

Not something cold.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH!
* BANGS HEAD ON WALL *

i though COLD was my best clue

right this is my guess does it make fucking cigarettes.

i`m going to open my bottle of jack daniels i brought home from my holidays.

my head sore now.

Look at the bottom of the comments Steve - Sweets has worked it out.

when you turn the handle does something fill up the hole in the top????

Nope. You got so close with your comment above, then backed off.

ok you sod,do you put some thing in the little hole in the top.it looks intricate so does it cut something.like ice.naw i`m off on a tangent again.lol.

Summat is stored in the hole in the top, which passes through the machine in a roundabout way and comes out different - but as what?

Yep - got to wait until next Friday.

You have to find out for yourself first don't ya? I'm on to ya.

you got that wrong Adam, bamber is the mystic one, he knows all and see all, do not underestimate a wizard.

give us a clue bamber just a little one.i have no idea.

See Token's comment - he's on the right lines.

I think it is a mechanical Cigarette Rolling Machine!!!!!!

Mabe it is a power generator for a light bulb.... but then again there isn't any light bulb so maybe not

If it had a metal ball on the top... it maybe a vandergraph?????... This is a shocking game

My feet are cold, I don't know if I can wait that long.
I like this " what is this", and hope it continues!

Who's a clever boy then... continue!

As you seem to know the answer, and I gave Sweets a prize, here is yours:

Here is where I found my answer.

But come ye back when shummer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's(HIC) hushed and white with snow
'Tish I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you sho.
