New Mystery Object

[trusty220]

Seeing as the last one proved to be popular with some of you, here’s another one that I came across earlier today tucked away in one of my customer’s barns.

I will freely admit that I didn’t know what it (or they) was (were) until it was explained to me, so please don’t think that I’m possessed of a vast knowledge of all things rural.

As before, no prizes for the correct answer but let’s just have a bit of fun!

I’ve on idea, so complete stab in the dark. Looks like it cuts something, Is it a mangle/beet cutter.

Nice try, but I’m afraid you’re wide of the mark. It looks like everyone is fooled by this one judging by the lack of response.

Anyone else fancy a guess?

They look like some kind of mold to me concrete spiral step mold?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Turbine or Water Wheel blades?

[trusty220]

One of you was on the right track in a roundabout way; I’m not saying which one, though!

Keep going!

an auger or spiral for water lifter when bolted together

[trusty220]

You’re still along the right lines but have a little further to go!

Keep trying!

Concrete Molds for a spiral staircase

I can see that I’m going to have to give you a clue.

You are right in your guess that they all fit together to form something bigger- each piece that you see is only part of the whole device.

Cryptic enough for you?

I’ve got it.
I’ve seen these when visiting Ravenhall. They belong to a suit of armour which stands in the Great Hall in the baronial mansion. These sections make up the shin protectors and fit over the elbow joints and knee joints to provide total protection when running away waving ones arms in despair.
It all comes back to me now, our Chair dons these items before advising the Good Lady Ravenhall he has taken delivery of another Trusty tractor, as she vents her anger Chair protects himself by wearing the suit of armour of which these are integral components.
He’s also known to hide in this suit of armour when the tax collector calls.
Your’e rumbled.

[trusty220]

Damn and blast, I’ve been rumbled! At this rate I’ll have to sell another Jag to pay the taxman!
