What Is This Thing?

04/09/2009 2:53 AM

OK, here is your mission for this week, should you give a Monkey's!

This fascinating piece of steampunk was quite cutting edge in it's time. No-one I know had a clue as to what it is, but I'm not holding my breath this time around, I think this is just the sort of thing that you tech heads out there will recognize.

What's the different between K.N and forged America currency?

If you don't mind (and since Vermin didn't answer):

They both may look attractive but the dollar is looking more anorexic lately?

If it's the same one that is illuminating that avatar, then it's time it was junked and replaced.

Yippee! I new Carbon Arc was a big thing back then for Light houses and the shape looked like a spot light or projector of some sort and with all of the holes in the rear it appeared that it was to diffuse a lot of heat!

What's my prize???

Josh.

PlbMak is an old meanie. The least one could do here is offer one of Hendrik's GOOZ cards as a prize to the first right answer.

You get the respect of us, humble mortals, who couldn't deliver in due time, yours truly included.

Besides, if it was me behind the OP, I would give the darn thing.

Come to think of it - what a nice way to rid yourself of some old junk.

In short - pure, unadulterated envy

Ha Ha, thanks. I am OK with only getting an almost good answer. This was good fun.

Bring on another!
