What is it? Set 251

[J. Clarke]

I'd be really surprised if any power at all could be derived from "in to out" flow in a radial-flow power turbine.

1417 - Tektronix scope camera. Takes Polaroid film. 1418 - Sharpener for something. Or something that tapers a dowel? 1419 - Toasters 1420 - Water turbine. Looks a lot like the one that is buried in the creek bank near here. It was used to power a box making mill. 1421 - Back scratcher? Or an early tool for shedding? 1422 -

Howdy,

1421 is a scoop for nails (when they are sold).

Howdy,

I thought they stopped using real hardware stores years ago...

There are few left, but the "real" hardware stores around here (most of which were in business a hundred years ago) still use those nail rakes.

All the best,

I have seen a couple hardware stores with the nail bins and rakes. But it is the lumber yard whare I see these the most.

It is a lot easier to use the rake than your fingers to gather up a bunch of nails.

A tool for tapering tuning pegs.

In-to-out, out-to-in, tangential flows, its all been tried and used at one time or another.
