Today I acquired...........

[winchman]

I showed the compass to guy this morning he reckons it is from a spitfire, I must check into it as it was said along time back it might be.

Mine looks the same and I was told its a spitfire one

 

[Tinbasherdan]

I'll ask our boss when I get back to work, he will know if it's from a spit

Edit: some furious Google fu has indeed proved the p8 compass to be a spit compass. Nice find there

Depth gauge?

We have a winner!

It's a 0-1" Brown & Sharpe No 607 depth micrometer, a bit grubby & some surface rust but working perfectly with no damage.

 

[Arc Tourist]

It should clean up nice.

A present for xmas from my FIL. An observation window from a Nimrod I'm told but would be happy to know otherwise

 

[Richiew]

That reminds me, I must fix the washing machine door.

Ribbed as well.

Does the ribbing help the two mate well together?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

When you bang it hard into the hole yes the ribbing does help to grip the sides and prevents leaks.

But how many else were.

 

[Parm]

But how many else were.

There might be one in the garden, one in the workshop, another at the Log store, possibly another one in the shed and maybe a few more in the workshop. There could be more that are put away for safe keeping
