Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
(They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
Please boost for added eyes, thanks! 😊
The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90⁰ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.
A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!
In the US, a train carrying gasoline and butane derailed and caught fire
The incident occurred near the border of the US state of Arizona with New Mexico. Six cars containing gasoline and propane caught fire. Local police are investigating the cause of the incident, reports the Associated Press.
The interstate was closed. Residents of houses near the incident were also evacuated as a precaution due to the wind, which carried away thick smoke. #AureFreePress#News
@peterbrown Changing this unfortunately may not matter as US roads are maintained by the government and are not always safe for use (but are used anyway).
I attempted to help my brother with a confounding problem with his car this afternoon, and after a few hours of work, we were no closer to an answer than when we started.
Recently, his battery has been draining down overnight. He thought maybe he had a bad battery, so he got a new one. Same problem.
I went over there today and found that the car is drawing 1.6 amps from the battery even when turned off.
We started troubleshooting by pulling fuses. The car kept drawing 1.6 amps through all of them.
I pulled the main fuse, and the car still drew 1.6 amps.
For a while, we thought it was maybe the alternator rectifier, but that wasn't it.
We unwrapped the sheath from the main bundle of wires coming off the battery and found no shorts.
We disconnected the wiring to the starter and that wasn't it.
The car still draws 1.6 amps! We can't figure out what's doing it!
