MYSTERY OBJECTS
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
We have quite a few , but because it appears to be black, I will guess at Red Bellied Black Snake.
If it is brown, I would say a Western Brown.

Spot on Cathy, or so the man said who congratulated me for keeping still!
Next object?
This is the blow down pipe off a Lancashire Boiler. Can you tell me what it's known as in the trade?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Swan neck is correct Ian. Well done...... Made of very heavy cast steel to withstand the erosion of the contaminated water being forced through under high pressure.
Next one?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
In a way Gloria yes but I wouldn't go at it that way because that's misleading. You've seen it before. Clue, it's at Blist Hill....

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
As it looks like pressure cooker I would say it is some kind of pressure release valve?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Fair point Ian. It's technical so I'll knock it on the head. It's a dead weight safety valve on a Lancashire boiler. Almost standard in the mills because it was dead simple and couldn't be tampered with. There were too many instances of engineers altering safety valves to get more power out of their engines thus getting in the good books of the management.
