I feel the two receptacles behind the spring are relevant? Clearly two levels of kinetic force but to hit what??? Can't be anything too precise as the piece that holds the bar back when it is under tension is a bit crude!

You are going in the right direction, both ends of the bar are significant. A Guy

Is it used for wood?

 

[mitchell65]

Well I have given up! I'm beaten with this one!

 

[DocBrown]

Is it always mounted on this rectanglur block ? Or is it just to display this Woz ?

 

[alfred01]

It has a vertical plate on one end as if to pull it back which would increase pressure on the spring. You would then release the bolt and the front part of the bolt extends past the block. A P.S. to Doc, it is screwed to the rectangular block so I believe it is all one piece. Is it used to test the breaking capacity of something?

Also, as you pull the bolt back, does the end with the spring have gradations on it so you can measure the amount of pressure?

An egg!

 

[alfred01]

An egg!

:roflmao: I don't think I would put money on the egg John.

 

[Athene]

Maybe it's a portable guillotine

 

[A Guy]

It IS an egg! Oh wait, did you say egg? No.

No one would ever get it, and I'd be holding up the thread since I'm busy just now so I will tell you, and John, or someone can put one up. This is an old version, but it's used to...

test which will hit the ground first ... a dropped ball or a ball thrown horizontally. Lol, see, no one would have gotten it.

Sorry I am away for a few days!

 

[alfred01]

OK. I'll try one again, but mine seem to be too easy.

 

[boogieboy]

It's a chair decoration piece made out of mmm wood?

 

[pebbly]

A carving of a chair in the graphite tip of a pencil ?

 

[Dwarf]

Is it Tom Thumb's high chair?

Or is it a carving of a chair on a matchstick?

 

[alfred01]

It's a chair decoration piece made out of mmm wood?

Well boogie, I'd have to say your in the ballpark, but in the cheap seats.

 

[alfred01]

Is it Tom Thumb's high chair?

Or is it a carving of a chair on a matchstick?

Wow Dwarf, it is Tom Thumb's high chair. :roflmao: But seriously, you are correct that it is a carving of a chair but not a matchstick.

 

[alfred01]

A carving of a chair in the graphite tip of a pencil ?

Bingo pebbly. That is exactly what it is. And just to prove it, here's another.



Your up pebbly.

 

[alfred01]

Is there a children's section for this game because I obviously suck at it?

 

[pebbly]

OK an easy one

 

[alfred01]

A can opener?
