He explained, but got the answer "We have only one venomous serpent in Norway, the viper." (Anyway, painful as its poison is, it is not deadly.)) We have many snakes that will kill you and so do the gents down under. You can tell by looking at how the skin is "woven" at the bottom side of the tail as to whether it is posionouds or not. Poisonous snakes skin scales on the bottom side of the tail are in a Single row and their eye pupils are eliptical. Non poisonous snakes skin scakes on the bottom side of the tail are in a Double row and the eye pupils are round. Here are some that are found in Texas. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/expltx/jrnat/safesnake.htm Anyway, why the small knife IIRC to open the wound. And, that is not necessirally the best way to treat a bite these days. |

For some reason when I clicked on your post, I got a message that said
it was no longer on the server, but I found it on Google. #261 - For embossing the owners name on the page of a book. Correct, it has my name and intials on it along with "Library of" at the top, given to me as a gift years ago. #262 - For smoothing the morter between blocks or bricks. #263 - Snakebite kit. #264 - Masonary nail.

title and forgot to mention that answers were also posted for the previous set. And since a number of people have already replied correctly on number 263, I added a page in which I've provided a little more info on the snake bite kit, including photos of some of the instructions: http://pzphotosan50.blogspot.com/ Rob |

R.H. wrote: More photos have just been posted: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ O.K. I managed to hit your list announcement *before* seeing anybody's answers first, so I'll have a try at all of them before I read on. And since I asked about stats of where the answers come from, I'll state that I am reading and replying in rec.crafts.metalworking. 260) Not really sure. It bayonets onto a shaft, which may rotate (CW only) or may also reciprocate as well (or only). At a first guess, it is either the cutter bar from some kind of nibbler, or is used to tie string or cord around something. 261) A paper stamp -- for either pressing a notary's seal into a document being certified, or as an "ex libris" kind of stamp for books. Perhaps private, perhaps a library. To tell, we would need to stamp it into a blank sheet of paper and examine what ws produced. It uses no ink, and works by adding visible texture to the paper. (Hard to alter a signature over which it has been operated.) 262) Possibly used for scooping dry chemicals and shaking little amounts into the pan of a balance (usually on a piece of filter paper) to measure out a precise amount. Maybe a "spoon" for melting wax to seal accordion reed plates to the reedboxes. Maybe a device for guiding the gasket over a replacement windshield. 263) A snake-bite kit. 264) A concrete nail. 265) A lathe toolholder for a parting tool. It fits into a so-called "lantern style" toolpost. The parting blade is placed in the groove on the side, and held by the half-round headed bolt drawn in by the nut on the other side. It looks as though it was made by Armstrong -- one of the long-time makers of such holders.

Darn! 6 hours after the Original post are there are already a ton of
responses. I have been lurking these posts for a while, actually got up the nerve to post to the last one,(only got about half of them right) and yet I'm gonna try it again. 260. No clue 261. A seal press, notary I believe 262. Masonry tool, maybe called a pointing tool 263. a kit of some kind, already been answered. 264. Masonry nail 265. looks suspiciously like a tool holder for a lathe OK, now to check out the other replies and see how I did. Thanks RH for these posts, they are alot of fun. Jim |

Poisonous snakes skin scales on the bottom side of the tail are in a Single row and their eye pupils are eliptical. Non poisonous snakes skin scakes on the bottom side of the tail are in a Double row and the eye pupils are round. Here are some that are found in Texas. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/expltx/jrnat/safesnake.htm I don't know about the scales but the Coral snake's eyes are round. |
