I never got Greg's post so I'll tag on to Andy's.
"Sheetrock" is just a brand name for one of United States Gypsum
Company's wall board products. It happens to be one of the more common
brands available in my area. See:

Thanks for the link! I have to admit that I'm surprised that it's actually
used for that, I thought it might be for working on leather.

The one in my photo is different than the type you have in mind, there is no
second screw for this one. If you haven't already seen the link that I
posted previously, have a look at this site for instructions for this one:

The drywall anchor that is useful in Paneling, Hollow Doors and thin plaster
is made by Rayfix International owned by Midwest Fastener Corporation (might have owner backwards)
These are called "Ultimate Gold Wall Anchor - gold color - holds up to 60 pounds.
I bought a couple of packages at my local Lumber Company. Had to mount some heavy stuff - used 3.

Correct, it's an old 750 watt GE projection bulb. Not sure if it still

Don is completely correct - my entire office is partitioned
with (what we call in UK) plaster board. The board is not
strong enough to hold pictures or maps using a normal screw
or tack. this thing you have is pushed into the plaster
board - then its external thread is used to pull it all the
way into the soft wall till its head is flush, then the
smaller fine metal screw is used to attach 'whatever' to
the wall via the plastic screw.
I have a tv screen held to wall with them - so I sure hope
they work!

Thanks for your concern Don - it's an LCD flat screen. I
reckon a decent size CRT would be nigh impossible - and in
any situation it would be easier and safer to use a floor
stand.
The largest(heaviest) thing I have held up with these
things is a 6' by 4' framed map - it must weigh close on 80
lbs and is held on by two screws. It was put up before I
arrived at this office and as it has been fine for about 10
years I see no reason to question its safety.

But there *should* be. The Phillips driver screws this into the
wall, and then a long metal screw is put into the center of the first,
and it shifts the point, turning it sideway, and clamps down on the back
of the drywall with it. They come in a clear plastic box with several
of these, and an equal number of the screws to put into them once they
are seated in the drywall.

In particular, they look like jaws to fit inside the normal vise
jaws, to grip pipe or other round stock.

There are various names for it here in the USA. The most common
(at least in the Washington DC vicinity) is "drywall", though I first
learned "sheetrock" down in South Texas. (It may have been a brand
name -- I was just a kid at the time.)

Ouch! A standard CRT, or one of the flat-panel LCD ones? If
the former, it will be cantilevering a pull on the upper ones. These
things are stronger in sheer than in tension.
If it is a true CRT, I would suggest that the support be of the
form:
Use a fixed-pitch font to avoid distortion of the image.
Courier should work well.

+-------- Welded metal bracket
Wherever you see an 'x' on the drawing above, you want a line of
the screws -- spaced something like 8" (200mm) apart. Much closer, and
you will weaken the drywall. Much farther apart, and you won't have
enough strength.
Where there are rows closer than that distance apart, stagger
the screws like this:
+------------------------+
| x x |
| |
| x x |
| |
| x x |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|========================|
| x |_| x |_| x |
+------------------------+
The bottom row of screws offers the least support -- but it
still can help in shear.
Good Luck,
DoN.

O.K. That is different. Though aside from the head with the
groove, it looks similar to the three-piece ones which I was describing,
where the drill point is dislodged by the insertion of the final screw,
and turned into a transverse clamp to better resist pull-out.
Note the caveat in that web page that it is for a maximum load
of 40 lbs. And that would be for a pure shear type load. Anything
which translates to much of a pull would have to be derated. And it
*might* not let go until a particularly humid day, or a mild earthquake,
or something similar.
Good Luck,
DoN.

Hmm. There's also "rockwall" or "concrete board" which is what
you're supposed to use for backing in wet areas, like behind tiles
in the bath. It comes in the same size sheets as sheetrock, though.

That's Rocklath, which is apparently still available.

The weight that unscrewed into two pieces was #244, I haven't been able to
confirm what it was used with, I'm guessing some type of scale.

Does it look just like mine? I can't find one like it on the web to verify

What's the point of this, and what does it have to do with the eyelet tool?
All I see is a bunch of old, lame, pilot complaint jokes.

The boot puller was in last week's set of photos, but you are correct
nonetheless.

I run into a lot of people in NY who also call it sheetrock. But
wasn't "sheetrock" another product altogether back in the 50's ?
late 40's ?? I've worked on old houses that had changes made
to them over the years and I ran into what I thought was sheetrock
in some of these mods. The stuff was much thicker and harder
than drywall, and came in plank-like form, looking a lot like
concrete "planks" I've seen every once in a while. ???????
Sheetrock is a brand name like Kleenex. GWB, gypsum wall board is
the architects' reference to the material.
The harder material you are referencing I think is called rock
lath. The stuff I have found has red paper and holes to allow the
plaster to key. It was in small planks, not large sheets.

Aha! I have a mirror which has a back likely intended to take
something like this, but I'd never seen the actual device before.
Basically the mirror (which is quite heavy) has a wooden back with a
round hole partially covered at the top by a metal strap, making a
D-shaped opening to a round hole. It's hanging now by an L-shaped-hook, but
if the hook were to rotate....

As I stated in a previous post, I should have mentioned this one is a
close-up, six time larger than actual size.

Yes, for drywall

Correct, though not very specific...
