I remembered seeing a group picture of men who were all wearing this tool so I've searched the site and have found it, though it took a bit of effort!
It is a warp twisters tool.

Yes Wendy, well remembered. The photo was supposed to have been done by William Bracewell and they were twisters at Butts.
Now we need another object.

What can you tell me about Victory Compound?

Was it used for lapping purposes?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 16 Sep 2025, 07:49
I don't believe it! You're right, it was a lapping compound used for treating hot bronze bearings by pouring in a mixture of Victory compound and thin oil. Newton said it was actually powdered brick. Now set the next one....
