MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

I can see why you thought that. Sorry Cathy but no, it has a more specific use than that.

[Gloria]

Looks like a Diablo, but I thought they were symmetrical, and this one doesn’t look like it.

[Big Kev]

For massaging under your eyes?

[Stanley]

Kev has it straight away. Yes, for eye massage.
Next one?

[Gloria]

Well I’d never have got that.

[Stanley]

Can you tell me what this is used for and what it's called.

[Stanley]

The resources of the internet may not help much.....

[Big Kev]

Is it a flange gasket?

[Stanley]

Yes Kev but it has a specific name. What is it?

[Big Kev]

Steelflon Gaskets?

[Stanley]

Sorry Kev, no. I won't let it hang about long......

[Big Kev]

Egraflex? Or is that a brand name?

[Stanley]

Never heard of it Kev so I can't say.

[Wendyf]

I'll try a corrugated metal gasket.

[Stanley]

That's what it is all right but I can see I'm going to have to come clean with the name.
Have a look at THIS firm.
The mystery object is a Taylor ring and is recognised as one of the best jointing rings available for flange joints that are in good condition.

[Gloria]

What is this, sorry it’s not the clearest of pics.

[Stanley]

Is it a small facility for manufacturing cotton wool balls?

[Gloria]

no Stanley.

[Wendyf]

It's a little pot where you breed killer white spiders!

[Big Kev]

It's a little pot where you breed killer white spiders!

I like that

[Gloria]

It's a little pot where you breed killer white spiders!

Haha I like that, but sadly no, if it was I’d be over-run with them as we have quite a few.

[Stanley]

We seem to be assuming it's a vessel with something in it. Is that wrong? Are we looking at the end of a pipe or aperture?

[PanBiker]

Is it some kind of vessel for holding aromatic oils or air freshener type liquid?

[Gloria]

It’s not a vessel as such for holding a liquid, it is only small and you are looking in the end of something.
