P.S. Out of curiosity -- now that you have images, what is the term
for them in Norway? And what newsgroup are you following this
in? I'm in rec.crafts.metalworking, which explains why I am
familiar with the acorn nuts, and why I happen to have some on
hand to photograph.


Thanks to you and Andy. What they are called in Norway? Frankly, I
don't really know, but I'll check it out. (I really was puzzled
because my dictionary told me that an "acorn" should be an "oak nut",
so what the h... should a "metal oak nut nut of cheap varity" be? :-))

Anyway, the newsgroup I follow is rec.puzzles.
