2268. Log meter for a boat. Tells speed of travel through water.
The current Democratic party has lost its ideological basis for
existence.
- It is NOT fiscally responsible.
- It is NOT ethically honorable.
- It has started wars based on lies.
- It does not support the well-being of americans - only billionaires.
- It has suppresed constitutional guaranteed liberties.
- It has foisted a liar as president upon America.
- It has violated US national sovereignty in trade treaties.
- It has refused to enforce the national borders.
...It no longer has valid reasons to exist.

2264. I think it's a wood splitting tool but it needs a loop attached
to a stump for the hook end to get leverage but I don't remember what
it's called.
2268. Mechanical Ships's Log. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_log
Scroll down one page on the right.

As I recall, and I was around before refrigerators were widely owned,
ice tongs were larger and the handle openings were horizontal and not

If Dough Miller stays off my ass...Ill not respond to him in kind.
He, like a few others out there...never seem to catch on to that.
Its that mental illness that they tend to share. Liberalism. The urge
to try to feel bigger and better than the lumpinproletariat.
Which simply means the nebbishes toss rocks.

Just killfilter the POS. Doug is only another sock puppet of George Watson,

blaming Usenet for the death of his wife and will stop at no time or expense
to accomplish this. Don' get suckered. Just watch who jumps into the troll

Scratch that. After more carefully staring at the picture, I believe it
is used to compress something (by employing its 2 strong handles). The
tongs appear to not meet, as I first thought, but to pass each other
(which helps explain why they are tapered). I would suspect agricultural
use. I hope it doesn't have anything to do with geldings.

Point well-taken. Thanks. If the tool was for picking up something hot,
I think the handles wouldn't be made of metal, or the handles would be

It's part of Gunner's sig. He's been told repeatedly that the sig is malformed

Well, both wings of the Statist party are equally culpable for the ills
of America, and each and every one of these comments is applicable to either
wing, but I'm a card-carrying Libertarian, so I'm insane or stupid
practically by definition. So please help me out here - which one of the
above comments is "the welfare one?"

Correct, though I was going to call it a steering wheel column, the person
who took the photo said he was going to dig it up but I don't know if he's
done it yet.

Yes, it's a Negus patent log.

Maybe it's the other way, hot things.
My dad was a machinist, tool and die maker and I remember seeing a set of
those, pretty sure he just called them tongs.
When they used to make prototypes, gears mostly, if they needed to harden
the steel they were made of, they used like torch them, red hot then plummet
them into an oil bath.
I don't know if it has an offical name but I'm pretty sure it was for that
line of work and dunking red hot things into oil baths.

The tool appears to be closed, or almost closed, so those tongs cannot
close any further, but only open widen.

Haven't you just substituted Democratic where Republican should be? - it
was the welfare one that gave it away.
Not sure how this relates to the puzzle, though - or is it an alternative
puzzle?

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2263) To keep either water or foodstuffs warm.
2264) Throwing (toma)hawks?
2265) This looks to me like the worm part of a steering
worm and sector gear.
2266) Perhaps a semi-portable water distillation setup?
Looks as though the level is to make sure that the condensate
runs to toe collector not back to the boiler.
2267) Either for picking up a hot vessel by the neck, or
for picking up ice. Probably the latter. Maybe even for *dry*
ice.
2268) This one is quite clear to me -- though the line is rather
short for normal use.
It is a "ship's log" -- used for measuring speed through the
water. The part on the left is trailed behind the ship, and the
dial, hooked to the transom or someplace similar, indicates how
many turns the towed finned object turns in a given period of
time. It can give either speed (distance over a measured time)
or overall distance travelled, if the dials can accumulate
enough turn counts. Looks like not a high enough count for a
total distance travelled application, so go for the distance
over a measured time.
Now to post and see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Actually -- he did fix it for a while. Not sure why he un-fixed
it later.
I've set the "Followup-To: " to rec.crafts.metalworking only, as
that is where he hangs out of the list of cross-posted newsgroups in
this posting.

Those look like they are intended to grip and turn something
-- perhaps a bottle cap, or some thing similar. If they are ice tongs
(for medium small ice cubes, not the full 25-pound blocks), then the
part near the handles could be for opening beverage bottles.

Usually *significantly* longer.
Short to make it fit in the museum display case, of course. :-)

If you go far enough back, you did not find screw-on filters as
you do today. Instead, there was a cartridge, or sometimes even just a
pleated thing of felt reinforced with wire screening (e.g. my '57 and
'61 MGAs), which fit inside a long dome with a through bolt holding it
all in place and sealed.
Here is an ad for one of the cartridge style filters from an old
Popular Mechanics magazine -- bottom left-hand side of page:
http://www.google.com/books?id=nFcEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA246&lpg=PA65&lr=&output=html&rview=1
Assuming this URL is still good after I log out. It is page 246 of the
November 1952 issue if you need to search it down.
Anyway -- this tool would not be used for that -- and it looks a
lot older than modern filters -- nor would it really get a good grip on
them -- the tools made for the purpose expect regular indentations to
grip.
Enjoy,
DoN.

He, like a few others out there...never seem to catch on to that.
Its that mental illness that they tend to share. Liberalism. The urge
to try to feel bigger and better than the lumpinproletariat.
Which simply means the nebbishes toss rocks.
